Add middle school teachers, parents and students to the growing list of people objecting to proposed budget cuts in Springfield public schools.
An overflow crowd attended Monday’s marathon school board meeting to urge rejection of proposals ranging from a reduction in the number of middle school teachers to the elimination of middle school programs at Iles and Ball Charter schools.
But board member Bill Looby says at some point, painful cuts will have to be made.
Looby says more than a million dollars in proposed cuts have been either taken off the table or restored by the board during the ongoing budget hearings.
