Youngstown BOE member demands status by October

YOUNGSTOWN — Some city school board members want the district treasurer to “bottom line” what additional cuts are needed to balance the district’s budget — with or without the 9.5-mill levy on the November ballot.

“How much more do we need to cut to balance this budget?” Lock P. Beachum Sr. asked Treasurer William Johnson during a board finance committee meeting last week.

He asked Johnson to prepare a report showing where the district stands. That report should reflect the financial status both if the levy is passed and if it fails, he said, adding that the board needs the information by the next finance committee meeting in October.
