$1.4 million school cut ordered

Dozens of layoffs unless school board successfully challenges state ruling BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONWAY — The New Hampshire Attorney General has ruled the school district's default budget is subject to the 10 percent cut rule. The Conway School Board now must trim $1,019,746 from the proposed

2011-12 budget, and five voter-approved warrant articles, totaling $449,950, must be voided. The need to reduce the budget means there will be numerous layoffs across the district unless the board goes to court to get the ruling overturned. School superintendent Carl Nelson

received the letter from the New Hampshire Department of Revenue Administration, which had sought a legal opinion from the Attorney General, Wednesday afternoon. The Conway School Board called a special meeting Thursday night to discuss the letter. see RULING page 8
