The week ahead: Rochester school budget hearings

January 30, 2012 at 10:18am

Rochester Interim Superintendent Bolgen Vargas will hold three public meetings this week to let parents and community groups discuss their priorities for the 2012-2013 budget prior to its development. More public meetings will be held after the budget has been created.

Vargas is facing a $40 million budget gap. He hopes to close much of the gap using $10 million in state aid and $20 million from the district's reserves, he said at a meeting earlier this month. He also plans to cut $10 million in district expenses, though he has not said whether that will include staff cuts.

This week's meetings:

Tuesday, January 31, Jefferson High School auditorium, 1 Edgerton Park, 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.
Wednesday, February 1, School 12 cafeteria, 999 South Avenue, 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.
Thursday, February 2, Ryan Community Center, School 33, 500 Webster Avenue, 7 to 9 p.m.
