Parents spoke out Tuesday evening against the Berlin Central School District’s proposal to cut 16 staff positions in order to close a huge budget deficit.
They packed the Berlin Middle-High School cafeteria on Tuesday night to express their concern that teaching positions would be on the chopping block.
The district is facing a budget gap of $5.4 million between expenses and revenue.
One issue is a proposed cut of $1.2 million in state aid. However, other issues contributing to the problem are an increased costs and expiration of COVID relief aid that was used to fund programs.
The district plans to meet again after Easter to continue its budget talks.
