THE MAQUOKETA COMMUNITY SCHOOL DISTRICT WILL SEE A 3.1 PERCENT
DECREASE IN FUNDING FROM THE STATE NEXT YEAR.
THAT EQUALS $269,759. THAT'S BECAUSE THE DISTRICT SAW A REDUCTION
OF 45 STUDENTS A YEAR AGO AND DISTRICTS RECEIVE FUNDING BASED ON
THE PREVIOUS YEAR'S ENROLLMENT. THIS YEAR, THERE'S A MUCH
SMALLER REDUCTION AT 16 STUDENTS.
SUPT. KIM HUCKSTADT CALLED THE SITUATION A CHALLENGING PICTURE
FOR THE DISTRICT AND HE SAID THEY WILL BE WORKING THROUGH IT IN THE COMING WEEKS.
COST CUTTING TIME!
