AKRON - The Tippecanoe Valley School Board held a budget workshop Monday night at the corporation's administration office.

Along with approving the advertisement of its 2011 budget, the board also approved a 1-percent salary reduction for all 10 of Tippecanoe Valley's administrators.

Superintendent Brett Boggs noted that cut will result in a savings of $7,610. Combined with the elimination of the curriculum coordinator position and reducing Dr. Daniel Kramer's assistant superintendent position from full-time to part-time, it will result in a cut of nearly $108,000 in salaries.

Boggs said the corporation received $734,000 less in state funding in 2010 than in 2009.

Based on information from the Indiana Department of Education, schools can expect such a similar reduction in 2011.

With that in mind, the board also approved freezing the salaries of classified staff, which includes custodial staff, secretaries/treasurers, school nurses, special needs personnel, instructional assistants, maintenance personnel, technology staff, cafeteria staff and transportation personnel.

During the budget workshop, Kramer also reiterated that during the planning for the 2011 budget, it came with planning on less money from the state.
