The St. Paul school board is considering $33 million in budget cuts, including reducing administrative costs, closing buildings and changing school boundaries.
The St. Paul Pioneer Press reports the board heard a presentation on the plan with few specifics on Tuesday night. A more detailed plan will be presented on May 4.
A third of the potential cuts for next year would come from centrally administered programs and services, including reorganizing departments, eliminating positions and reducing out-of-state travel.
Other possible cuts include closing buildings, changing transportation boundaries for magnet schools and shutting down 10 school pools.
