Aux Sable Middle School issued the following announcement on Oct. 2.
The District 202 Board of Education at its September 28, 2020 regular meeting approved the FY 2020-21 budget which shows about $12,000 less in total budget net revenues (including all funds) than what was expected when the proposed budget was published in July.
The budget as approved also shows about $203,000 more in total budget net expenses, largely due to the pandemic.
Those costs include $2.4 million more for pandemic-related safety supplies and the initial $777,000 debt payment for nearly 17,000 more laptops bought this spring to help students with remote learning.
All told, the final total budget including all funds shows a $6,143,833 deficit. The shortfall jumps to $29.7 million when including construction costs for Wallin Oaks, the district’s 18th elementary school now being built.
