Northwestern plans for budget cuts

By Megan Gildow | Sunday, March 15, 2009, 04:05 PM

Northwestern board members will discuss and vote on budget cuts for the 2009-10 school year later this week.

The board meets at 6 p.m. Thursday, March 19 in the auditorium at Northwestern High School.

The district is looking at budget cuts for the next year that would include eliminating a few positions, some supplemental contracts and other areas, according to Superintendent Tony Orr.

“Its my responsibility as a superintendent to be a fiscal steward for the community,” said Orr. “I believe in fiscal conservatism.

“It’s planning for the long term.”
