School Board holding special meeting this morning…

Deliberation on just which of some two-dozen jobs may be restored at Siuslaw Schools is happening this morning. The Siuslaw School Board is holding a special meeting at 7:30 AM to deliberate following approval of the revenue amount earlier this week by the budget committee. In addition to a band teacher and elementary school PE, superintendent George Winterscheid is recommending restoration of the high school culinary arts program, one classroom teacher in the middle school and a part time music teacher in the elementary school. The additional revenue means there’s an expected shortfall of roughly three-quarters of a million dollars for the coming year… as opposed to the $1.7-million initially anticipated.
