Chelsea: School Cuts

Chelsea Update reports that the Chelsea School District board has voted to cut 1.25% from non-union, non-contract employee salaries and to raise health insurance premiums for that group. It’s part of an effort to deal with a $2.1 million budget shortfall, according to the report. The article quotes superintendent Dave Killips: “The Board does not want to make mid-year cuts to personnel, if at all possible, because of the impact on students. However, this may be discussed further depending on what happens with state funding.” [Source]
