The Gateway Regional High School District is proposing a $1.1 million lower budget for 2010-11 than 2009-10 due to state aid reductions. To reduce costs, the district has eliminated several teaching and administrative positions, cut various programs and services, and increased class sizes. The proposed budget represents a total tax levy increase of $340,000 across the four sending districts to make up for lost funding. Community support is needed to pass the budget and continue providing a quality education with responsible cost containment.
