District 300 to unveil cutsThe Community Unit District 300 administration will make a formal recommendation to the school board on Monday, Jan. 11 on how to cut $6 million from the 2010-11 budget. Officials say there should be few surprises in the proposals, which reflect ideas district leaders have discussed in recent months: staff cuts, a salary freeze, furlough days and cuts to kindergarten music and physical education. "Everything that's going to be presented has been discussed for numerous months," Superintendent Ken Arndt said. "There's really nothing of great surprise." The meeting will be held at 7:30 p.m. in the auditorium at Carpentersville Middle School, which is adjacent to the administration center, at 100 Cleveland Ave., Carpentersville. The board could vote on the measures in late February.Candidate forumResidents of Sun City in Huntley will have an opportunity to hear from candidates in both the 14th Congressional District and 25th State Senate District from 10:30 a.m. to noon Tuesday, Jan. 12 in the Drendel Ballroom at Sun City.
