Yesterday, New Des Moines Public Schools budget documents released detail plans of how to handle a 2012-2013 budget shortfall.
According to the district said it is facing a smaller than expected budget shortfall because of an increase of nearly 600 students into the district. Nonetheless, the new plan still calls for 32 full-time positions because grants paying for the positions are ending.
The proposed budget totals $474 million with 86 percent of the general fund going toward instruction and student support, 9 percent covering district operations and less than 5 percent for administration.
In original estimates, the budget shortfall was expected to be $5.7 million, but now it's expected to be $2.8 million.
According to officials, the proposed budget does not change the district's tax rate.
The school must submit its budget to Polk County officials no later than April 16.
