 And the New Haven School Board has passed an amended budget that will prevent any layoffs in the upcoming school year. Superintendent Madeline Negron says they were able to reduce the projected $11 million budget deficit for the school year to around $2 million. The budget was approved with no way to cover the more than $2 million, which will be addressed during the year. Negron says operations will be monitored to make sure the district does not finish the year with a deficit.
