JANESVILLE
Janesville School District officials are estimating K-12 enrollment will be 503 fewer students next fall than they estimated last year at this time.
The effect will be 10.8 fewer teaching positions, which means an estimated budget savings of $897,861, Assistant Superintendent Scott Garner told the school board Tuesday night.
The board approved the annual staffing plan on a 9-0 vote.
Dale Thompson, who was serving at his last board meeting, noted that the district budget still will have to pay increased costs of salaries and benefits and other as-yet unknown costs, âso weâre not flush with money by any stretch of the imagination.â
