Andover (MA) Eagle-Tribune: Parents, students seek more school money as Jajuga announces $4M deficit http://www.eagletribune.com/news/merrimack_valley/parents-students-seek-more-school-money-as-jajuga-announces-m/article_a406fc01-278c-5429-a77d-80896cd81e94.ht …The school department’s current budget was approved last year at $72 million, a $1.47 million cut from the year prior. Superintendent of Schools Judith Scannell at the time warned city officials an influx of students with special education needs could destabilize that budget. Scannell said at the beginning of April this year the district had already exceeded its budget for special education services. Monday night, Jajuga told city councilors the schools’ total budget deficit was $3,975,632.
