The Wausau School Board will hear an update regarding proposed staff reductions to help cover a $2.5 million budget shortfall for the coming academic year.
The proposal was brought forward in March, calling for the elimination of roughly 26 full-time equivalency positions, saving about $2.3 million. That would still leave a shortfall of around $400,000.
That discussion will be followed by data from a consulting group regarding a possible operating referendum that could go on the November ballot. The Donovan Group has proposed a public survey to gauge support for a hypothetical question this May, with results presented to the board in June.
It should be emphasized that the board has not crafted a specific referendum question. If the board chooses to move forward with the item, it would be for informational purposes only.

Monday’s meeting begins at 5:00 PM at the Longfellow Administration building. A live stream will be provided.
