In one week, those wanting to speak about the budget situation in the Pella Community School District can do so in front of the Pella School Board.

Superintendent Greg Ebeling has recommended nearly $900,000 in cuts for the upcoming fiscal year, following approximately $800,000 in reductions made for the current academic calendar.

Ebeling says involuntary job loss will impact a handful of the nearly 18 full-time and part-time positions that could be reduced. And while he expects the board will stick close to his recommendations, Ebeling cautions that it’s ultimately up to the school board on what to cut and how much.

Next week’s Pella School Board meeting will begin at 5:30 p.m. on Monday in the Pella High School library.
