Burningham said it was the consensus of district school superintendents at a recent meeting that some budgets could be made on the local level if restrictions placed by the legislature and state mandate on local boards were removed. Right now we cant legally cut our budget in categorical areas such as vocational education, programs for the handicapped and disadvantaged, Burningham said. He said if budget cuts had to be made, they should be made at the local level. Burningham said if categorical funds could be given back to the state as part of the budget reductions, it would put more of the burden for programs back in the home.
