Facing $28M deficit, candidates for Everett school board offer answers
EVERETT — Safety, youth homelessness and a major budget shortfall are top of mind for candidates in advance of the August 1 primary election for Position 5 on the Everett Public Schools Board of Directors.
This year, a $28-million budget deficit led the school district to pass its Reduced Educational Program in March, which projected 142 positions would be cut.
The budget cuts are due to a host of factors, including the end of federal pandemic aid.
Charles Adkins, Janelle Burke, Roman Rewolinksi and Ryne Rohla see varying issues facing the district and have different plans for tackling its financial difficulties.
