In a news release late Thursday Distict 300 Superintendant Ken Arndt announced the final version of proposed cuts for the District's 2010-11 schoolyear budget. The School Board will vote on the modified proposal Monday.
Arndt and the Board proposed drastic cuts six weeks ago mostly because of dwindling state support and have been gathering feedback since then. The final revision includes:
Technology Upgrades--No changes.
Substitute Teachers--Cut long-term sub pay 25 percent instead of 50 percent.
Social Workers and Psychologists--Effectively lose one, not six.
Janitors--Cut 5, not 11.
Counseling for Staff--no change
Administrators--Three to five percent pay cuts and nine to twelve furlough days, the higher the pay the more days without it.
Everybody else (except teachers)--Five to seven furlough days.
High school electives--The least popular get cut and about four teachers are let go.
The rest of Arndt’s original recommendations stay in place. The District's website has a detailed page about budget cuts here:

The latest version of the cuts totals about $5.3 million. Still to come will be an additional $1.2 million in transportation-related cuts scheduled for a vote in April.
Monday's Board Meeting remains scheduled at 7:30 pm at District Headquarters in Carpentersville according to the agenda.
