BG seeks ideas to cut costs at schools

After a table of five residents had been discussing ways for the Bowling Green school district to save money for about 20 minutes, Board Member Eric Myers approached the table.
"Do you have any questions?" he asked.
None.
Kisha Nichols, a kindergarten teacher at Kenwood, then chimed in: "Sorry we don't have any answers."
Attendance was sparse Tuesday for the first in a series of public forum hosted by the school district to try to find additional savings in the budget. Five more forums are scheduled, all at Crim Elementary School, 1020 Scott Hamilton Drive. The forums will be: today at 6:30 p.m.; Monday at noon; July 31 at noon;  Aug. 2 at 8 a.m.; and Aug. 7 at 8 a.m.
The district is facing the need to make reductions in the face of two defeats at the ballot, the first for an income tax and the second for a property tax.
The last vote went down by a 2-to-1 margin.
