With more kids graduating than starting kindergarten, the district faces a $12.2 million deficit, despite cutting $20 million in spending. Their savings are nearly gone, and an auditor labeled them “high risk.” To survive, they’re eyeing a $65 million debt vote, hoping for state aid, and betting on property sales, staff turnover, and academy closures—all while pledging not to cut staff. The future’s hanging by a thread. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
