7 AURORA, Colo.—The Aurora school district faces more than $3 million in cuts in state funding, but district officials say more local funding and conservative budgeting will help make up the gap.
Chief Financial Officer Rod Weeks says the district faces a current shortfall of about $1.2 million in state funds a $2.9 million reduction next year. But the district has an additional $14 million in operating funds, thanks to a measure passed last year that allows the district to keep more local tax revenue.
Weeks says the district will be able to offer full-day kindergarten at all 33 schools in two years, as well as a general step increase in pay for staffers.
