It’s official: Santa Rosa City Schools board members are unanimously approving a plan to cut about four-and-a-half-million dollars from next year’s budget. The cuts approved at yesterday’s board meeting will include more than one-and-a-half-million dollars for new books and instructional materials and about 200-thousand for staff training. Board members have been under pressure to reduce their budget by four-million dollars in each of the next two years. The school district is the county’s largest, operating on an annual budget of 180-million dollars: it employs about 15-hundred people in 23 schools attended by over 16-thousand students.
