City school superintendent suggests more cuts

The city school district is looking at cutting 29 jobs for fiscal 2010-11, reductions that will help save more than $1.7 million in spending.

Superintendent Wendy Webb presented the cutbacks Thursday to the state fiscal oversight commission that has been controlling district spending since the state placed Youngstown in fiscal emergency in November 2006.

The district has cut $32 million in spending over the last several years as it seeks to return to fiscal solvency, eliminating about 500 jobs in the process.
