The North Judson-San Pierre School Board will be setting the
table for future budget discussions.
At their meeting tonight, Board members will learn more
about how the latest decisions in the state legislature will affect their
fiscal year budget. Superintendent Lynn Johnson says she hopes to explain the
new revenue figures to the board.
Thoughts right now indicate North Judson-San Pierre schools
will see reduced funding in the next fiscal year budget. The school corporation
is considering a referendum to increase the area’s property tax levy to make up
for the funding gap.
Rural school districts – which are generally losing
population their population base – are considered likely to see reduced
funding.
The Board will also take action to revise the school
corporation’s acceptable use policy. The AUP, as it’s called, is designed to
protect students and staff from viewing inappropriate content, as well as
specify proper care for the equipment for school owned technology.
Exactly which revisions are being made will become clear
during tonight’s meeting.
Board members will meet at 7:00 p.m. at the NJ-SP
Administration Building.
