Slight error in our last onscene tweet - APS budget cut total is $18 million, not $13 million. Complete story on AkronNewsNow.com now...

Akron school board approves $13 million in cuts proposed by Supt James

Akron school budget recommendations: Much more later on AkronNewsNow.com

Even if APS supt James' recommendations are approved, district needs to cut at least another $3 mill in FY2013, maybe $2 mill more (colls)

These are final recommendations by APS Supt James, board hasn't voted on them or five year budget plan yet (latter due by 5/31).

APS staff cuts do not include early retirement so far. Incentives have boosted that, but numbers aren't yet final.

Akron Schools superintendent comes up with $18 million in cuts, 139 teachers, 202 total staff cuts for FY2013 recommendatios
