Fewer teachers and school leaders in addition to less adventurous school meal choices are among the wide-ranging impacts of budget cuts envisioned for St. Paul Public Schools in 2024-25.
The state’s second-largest district faces a $107.5 million budget deficit, and officials Wednesday outlined to board members the latest in a series of proposed reductions. So far, the school system has identified nearly $90 million in potential cuts.
“While we have made significant progress toward a balanced budget, and should be proud of where we are today, the fact remains that the cuts we are facing are larger than we’ve ever faced before,” Superintendent Joe Gothard told board members.
