As promised, here’s the Rhino version of Guilford County Schools’ budget discussions.

Paul Clark says Superintendent Mo Green’s “current budget proposal outlines three tiers of spending cuts,” the most dramatic of which could run as high as $36 million, depending on the state budget. But the focus of the discussion still appears to be board members “pet programs and budget priorities.”

Check out Green’s “Tier 3” —most dramatic —-cuts:

Tier 3 would eliminate extended-year programs at the Brooks Global Studies and Johnson Street Global Studies magnet programs, eliminate some bus stops at the high school, middle school and elementary school levels, consolidate some bus routes, increase class sizes by one in all grades, eliminate the International Baccalaureate program at Smith High School and eliminate 13 foreign language teaching positions.

That adds up to $36 million? I’m just asking.
