Budget Shortfall Forces School Cuts

Published 16 hours ago
Description

Pender County Schools is getting a boost with $1.3 million for daily operations and $6 million for big projects — but that’s still $2.7 million short of what they need to keep things running as they are. With no new programs on the table, the district is now forced to prioritize, cutting back on local expenses while protecting classrooms, safety, and essential functions. They’re especially focused on avoiding drastic class size increases and are grateful for the capital funding — but the real challenge lies in covering everyday costs like hiring and student support, with specific cuts still to be determined.
