The Daniel Boone School Board is moving forward with a preliminary 2013-14 budget that includes drastic cuts.
The board voted 6-2 Monday to pass a preliminary $54.9 million budget that closes a nearly $5 million gap by raising taxes the maximum amount, furloughing nearly 40 employees and eliminating kindergarten and all extracurricular activities, including sports.
Board members Connor J. Kurtz and Kevin F. McCullough voted no and Robert D. McLaughlin was absent.
More than 100 residents attended the meeting, with many speaking out against the cuts outlined in the preliminary budget.
