The school board Monday approved $3.9 million in cuts to ensure a balanced 2012-13 spending plan.
The equivalent of 64 full-time positions in Plainfield School District 202 will be cut in an effort to eliminate a projected $3.2 million deficit in 2012-13 budget. In a unanimous vote, the school board on Monday approved the layoffs, which will save an estimated $3.9 million. But state aid continues to be unpredictable and volatile, and the district may soon be on the hook for several million more in transportation and teacher pension costs that were once the state’s responsibility, district officials said. The approved cuts include the full-time equivalent of 27.4 members of the Association of Plainfield Teachers to save $1.77 million; the equivalent of 35.3 members of the Plainfield Association of Support Staff at a savings of about $…

The calendar is still tentative, but parents should be able to use it to make long-term family and vacation plans.
Parents hoping to plan future vacations or family gatherings now have their children’s school calendars handy for the next three years.

While much smaller than anticipated, the shortfall is still sizable in 2013 and expected to grow annually through 2017, officials say.
The Plainfield District 202 school board will host a special meeting in the coming weeks to deal with a projected $3.2 million operating fund deficit for fiscal year 2013.
