LPOSD mulls budget cuts

SANDPOINT — A commitment is a commitment, especially if it involves education.

Voters recently passed the Lake Pend Oreille School District supplemental levy by a whopping 70 percent margin. District officials consistently said during the lead-up to the vote, that even with its approval, about $1 million still would need to be cut from the district’s budget.

A preliminary peek at those cuts and where they could be made was presented to the board of trustees Tuesday night during a preliminary 2015/2016 school year budget meeting.

“We have to make some adjustments,” LPOSD Superintendent Shawn Woodward said. “I’ve been given my marching orders to find a million dollars so we can balance when we start the school year.”
