Governor says schools must spend such money rather than rely on state
When budgets are tight, school districts sometimes have to dip into reserve funds to make ends meet.
It’s not something they like to do, but these are desperate times.
“We can’t count on doing this every year,” said Dr. Paul B. Eaken, Fleetwood superintendent.
This is the second year in a row that Fleetwood has relied on its reserves; the district spent $1.4 million to balance the 2011-12 budget.
