Jerome School District facing tight times

Jerome School District may have to declare an emergency and its funding shortfall could reach $573,000 with holdbacks that the governor has proposed for public schools in response to state revenues plummeting.

Cutting field trips, travel for athletic games, and fewer school days are all prospects as the school districts looks at its budget. Reporter John Plestina has the full story here.

The news came the same week that K-12 and higher education are giving their presentations to the Legislature’s Joint Finance-Appropriations Committee. Gov. C.L. “Butch” Otter has proposed 1.6 percent or $40 million in holdbacks this fiscal year, though that figure’s widely anticipated to not be enough.
