$2.3 Million Deficit Looms for Elmbrook School District
The Elmbrook School Board is preparing for a deficit after Gov. Scott Walker unveiled his version of the 2013-15 proposed state budget.
Gov. Scott Walker's two-year budget plan could result in a $2.3 million deficit next year for the Elmbrook School District, reported Brookfield Now.
The proposed $68 billion budget would combine tax cuts with increased spending on transportation infrastructure and private education.
Walker said he would offset the tax cuts and spending increases by shifting some funds away from public schools and healthcare, freezing local government aid and selling some assets, reported Reuters.
