How other districts handle cuts

A question that keeps coming up is, how are other school districts handling these tough economic times?

We know that the Ferndale School District received a suggestion to close its elementary school on Lummi Island to save money, but their superintendent took that possibility off the list of budget cuts.

Here's a link to the School Days blog on The Bellingham Herald, where once again the Ferndale School Board has decided to delay passing its budget, to allow for more time to make sure they are funding programs appropriately.

So far, Bellingham School District is the only one in Whatcom County closing a school to save money in 2009-10.
