$164,774,196 million budget, up $4 million from last year, and School Board bemoans a $1.4 million cut

And that doesn’t include $26 million in the capital improvement pot. “Our school system will be ruined!”.

I know little to nothing about our school budget but I do know numbers, and when someone says they can’t possibly shave a million bucks from a $164-million budget, I say they aren’t looking very hard.
