LOWER LAKE, Calif. – The Konocti Unified School District Board of Trustees will hold a special workshop to shape the coming fiscal year's budget on Saturday, Feb. 11.

The workshop will begin at 8:30 a.m. in the Carol McClung Conference Center, located at 9430-B Lake St. in Lower Lake.

Community and staff members are encouraged to attend the meeting.

The main work of the meeting will focus on budget development and contingency planning for 2012-2013 and beyond.

The district has to cut $2.8 million in order to meet declining funding for the 2012-13 school year.

District Superintendent Dr. Bill MacDougall has introduced a zero based budget model to help the district rebuild its services from the ground up.

On Feb. 1 MacDougall presented to the board a preliminary list of suggestions on how to make the reductions.

At the Saturday meeting he will take to the board a refined list of proposals from the administrative management team.
