Uncertainty over the numbers has prompted the Springfield school board to delay action on a proposed new budget for the fiscal year that started July 1st.
District officials say they need more time to assess the potential savings from various budget cuts.
The most recent estimates project hundreds of thousands of dollars less in savings than originally thought, leading board members to ask how the original numbers could have been so far off the mark.
The school board will hold a work session on the budget in mid-August.
