PPS Budget Shortfall

(Portland, OR) -- Portland Public Schools faces a 22-million-dollar budget shortfall this year. They found ways to reduce that to 14-million-dollars. Superintendent Dr. Kimberlee Armstrong says they're talking with unions about furlough days to cut the rest of the money. Staff in the central office will take five furlough days. They're also cutting a third of licensed administrators. The effect on school schedules will depend on how negotiations with the unions proceed.
