Comment on Vancouver Public Schools lists recommended budget cuts

Vancouver Public School officials announced recommended budget cuts for the 2019-2020 school year at a school board meeting Tuesday night. The cuts are being discussed to address an $11.44 million budget shortfall forecast for the school year, which district officials say is at least partially due to $7.2 million in costs from the contract agreement with the Vancouver Education Association after this past summer’s strike, and $2.1 million reflecting the district’s offer to the Vancouver Association of Educational Support Professionals.
