Opposition To JPS Foreign Language Cuts

Jamestown (CSi) At Monday evening’s Jamestown Public School Board members heard from eleven students, parents and educators to express their concerns about a potential cut to the district’s foreign language program.

The presentations were not on the meeting agenda, but occurred during the public communication period of the meeting.

The School Board previously agreed to allow Superintendent Robert Lech to search for $800,000 to trim from the district’s budget in the 2014-15 school year.

The district currently faces a $1.8 million deficit at the end of the next fiscal year on June 30, 2015.
