The Northfield Public Schools will be hosting a public forum on Thursday at 6pm at the Northfield Middle School regarding the proposed budget reductions.
On March 18th, KYMN aired a show that goes in-depth on the issue, reviewing how we got here and what is inside the proposal. We will be airing the special again on Thursday at 12pm. We also wanted to republish this episode in your podcast feeds, so that you can find it easily to listen again.
In January, Northfield Public Schools released their annual financial forecast, which called for $6 million in spending cuts in the next year. In the last two weeks, the district has since released its recommendations for the reductions.
KYMN's Logan Wells, talks with Superintendent of Schools Dr. Matt Hillmann, Director of Finance Val Mertesdorf, and School Board member & Treasurer Ben Miller. The first quarter of the show focuses on how we got here, and the rest of the show focuses on the budget recommendations.
