Since last year, local school officials have been watching federal government leaders, waiting for them to hammer out an agreement to avoid the automatic spending cuts.
A final agreement hasn’t come, and now school districts are in the dark, anxiously awaiting word from the Indiana Department of Education about how federal cuts will trickle down to the local level.
“We’re waiting for direction,” said Tippecanoe School Corp. Superintendent Scott Hanback. “For us, the bottom line is that today programs are in place, our teachers are in place. We’ve budgeted for this and it would definitely put us in a very difficult situation if the guidance was such that you no longer have money for this.”
