Youngstown board seeks more cuts

YOUNGSTOWN — The city school board expects to have a new spending reduction plan in its hands before the end of December.

Dr. Wendy Webb, superintendent, told the board’s Finance Committee tonight the committee she formed some months ago to look for additional ways to cut district expenses is getting close to coming up with some recommendations.

The committee is looking at everything short of cutting academic programs, she said, noting that includes possibly closing the central administration building on Wood Street, ending the bus garage lease contract and a variety of other matters.

She said a plan should be ready to present to the board in December.
