CONWAY — Cutting an administrator was one of the ideas raised by the budget committee Monday night during a discussion with Conway School Board on the 2011-12 budget. However, the school superintendent says it's too late to be considering more personnel cuts. Following a state ruling ordering a $1.4 million cut to the budget and warrant articles, the school board has scheduled a special meeting for Aug. 16 to vote on another budget. The school board this year proposed an operating budget of nearly $33.3 million. The budget committee recommended an 11 percent cut, and voters at the deliberative session of school meeting put the 11 percent back into the budget. Then in ballot voting in April, they rejected that budget in favor of a "default" budget, which was even higher.
