Proposed Cuts and a Pending Recount

As you probably already know, the Painesville City Schools levy issue did not pass. After counting provisional ballots, it lost by 29 votes. Last night the board voted at their special work session to pay $600 for a recount of that election. In case the recount does not come out positive for the schools, many possible cuts were proposed for our schools. More information will be posted here soon on what those cuts will or may be. The schools have a $2.5 million shortfall for which they need to compensate to balance the budget.
