School Board Talks Budget Savings
March 19, 2008
Cutting dollars was the theme of the Escambia County School Board’s regular monthly meeting Tuesday night.
Board members learned that the district saved $2.5 million last year when they consolidated several Pensacola area schools…Brownsville, Brown Barge and Wedgewood middle schools.
A hiring freeze is in effect in the district, with only essential personnel like teachers and principals being hired.
At Tuesday’s night meeting, the board trimmed about $8,000 from the current budget by voting to cut their use of the Pensacola Civic Center for graduations by a day, down to two days.
In other business, the board also voted to install an emergency generator at the Walnut Hill Bus Garage.
