More cuts needed in CL school budget

Trimming $600K would keep district ‘treading water’

After successfully trimming more than $400,000 from its budget through early retirements, Clear Lake Schools Superintendent Doug Gee was sent back for more.

Gee was directed to look for an additional $200,000 to cut after it was discovered the district had overspent by $961,000 over the last two years and is projected to overspend by another $352,000 in the current year.
