The Haines Borough school board on Tuesday looked at ways of reducing a $283,000 projected deficit in its draft operating budget for the coming year.
Members identified a half-dozen options for bridging the gap during a three-hour workshop on its $4.6 million spending plan.
They included cutting half of district travel ($24,000), delaying the upgrading of computers ($35,000), reducing a bookkeeping position ($20,000), and eliminating a support staff and a teacher’s aide position ($80,000).
