Superintendent introduces FY14 proposed budget

At last week's Board meeting, Mr. Guthrie introduced his "proposed" FY14 school system budget.  This budget calls for a modest increase to offset rising costs and prepare for the mandates of the Race-to-the-Top curriculum.

Below is the link to Mr. Guthrie's presentation and highlights.
