WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — A Wichita school district official says leaders will have to consider laying off teachers or other personnel as it faces up to $30 million in cost increases next school year and no additional state funding.

The district’s chief financial officer, Jim Freeman, projects that the cost increases for the 2017 fiscal year, beginning in July, could range from $16 million to $30 million.

The Wichita Eagle reports that revenue is expected to be flat under the state’s new block grant funding system.

Freeman says the district avoided layoffs last year by tapping into its contingency reserves and cutting other areas, such as adult education programs and classroom supplies.

School board members will meet March 21 to begin building the budget and consider options for cuts. The board may also consider moving to four-day school weeks.
