Horicon School District Considers Cutting Elementary School Librarian

Horicon School District, facing a deficit of $607,303 in the 2009-10 budget, is considering saving $60,261 by eliminating an elementary librarian position, combining those duties with the high school librarian duties and adding an aide. Dozens of other potential cuts are being considered, according to a report in the Beaver Dam Daily Citizen, to make up the deficit. A referendum is also a possibility. School officials are working on all options and getting input from the community.
