BERLIN — No increase in the fiscal 2020 school budget would result in major cuts, and for the first time in recent memory, those cuts would hit the athletic program.
The school board requested a $18.7 million general fund budget; up $659,415 or 3.6 percent. The school district did not receive a budget increase last year.
