ABSS has cut a whopping $7 million from its Central Services budget in an effort to be more financially prudent. We took to the airwaves this morning to encourage the Alamance County Commissioners to reconsider the possibility of cutting the District’s funding. The result could force ABSS to make even more cuts including reducing staff positions at the school level and even eliminating beloved programs like the arts and music. The Commissioners will meet tonight to discuss. #StudentCenteredFutureFocused
