Springfield’s school superintendent acknowledges that he’s not perfect, and that in retrospect the school district could perhaps have done more cutting sooner to avoid the massive cuts that are proposed for next year. But Walter Milton also says that many of the factors that have put the district’s finances in jeopardy were beyond his and his staff’s control.
In a live interview on 970 WMAY’s “Jim Leach Show,” Milton also said that he thinks he has cut as much from Central Office administrative staff as he can. Milton has proposed eight-million-dollars in cuts for the next school year, including nearly 100 teaching positions.
