DAVIS COUNTY -- Davis School District is facing its most challenging budget season in its history: a budget shortfall of $30 million this year and $31 million next year.
A huge budget shortfall for the Davis School District means bigger classes and maybe a tax increase.
Spokesman Chris Williams says the district has outlined major cuts. "For two years we've been cutting, and there's no fat. We're cutting into bone," he said.
The district is also looking at eliminating many positions from the top on down, but hope most will come through natural attrition like retirements and moving.
The board of education is also doing a survey to see if residents would support a tax increase.
