One day later, it came to pass.
In an email from Interim Education Commissioner Elaine Farris state superintendents were given the heads-up.
"I wanted to inform you that we, and all other state agencies, have received a request from the state budget office to prepare a plan for additional budget reductions, deeper than those already proposed byGovernor Beshear.
The only items exempted are the appropriation for health insurance and the portions of SEEK that relate to facility debt service. We have beenasked to complete this task by the close of business on Monday, January 26th.
We won't be able to solicit specific input from you for this process dueto the quick turnaround time requested; however, we can use some of theinformation we collected from you last month to address the impact ofthis potential reduction.
Farris indicated her intent to apply KDE cuts across-the-board, impacting every department, in order to give local districts the discretion to make some choices locally.
Marion County Superintendent Roger Marcum called the cuts "discouraging news."
KSN&C is still hearing 6.7%
