School Budget Proration
Selma City schools, as well as Dallas County schools, could receive sharply lower funding in December when a proration plan goes into effect. Lowered tax revenues are the cuprit, according to the State School Board Superintendent, Joe Morton.
Governor Bob Riley is expected to soon declare the proration.
Extra curricular activities and technology are expected to be the first programs affected by the cuts, although leaders are still discussing where the cuts should be made.
More cuts can be expected for the 2009-2010 school year.
