Teachers in the Hillsboro School District may see even more students in each classroom next school year as the district seeks to cut the budget without "decimating" programs.
The school district's budget committee, a mix of citizens and board members, took its first look at the funding "highlights" for 2010-'11 and it wasn't good news.
"The best scenario is unhappiness," said Sam Heiney, budget member.
Projecting a continued shortfall in state education funding, the district is considering plans to maintain staff levels. Enrollment, however, is expected to increase by 1 percent, which could bump up class sizes from the current average of 27.
