Milwaukee Public Schools is facing a growing budget deficit after ending the latest school year nearly $58 million in the red.
Preliminary figures show the district overspent its main operations fund by $12 million despite midyear spending cuts and staff reductions.
Superintendent Brenda Cassellius told the Journal Sentinel more cuts are on the horizon unless state lawmakers step in with increased education funding.
District officials recently adjusted the current budget and raised the local tax levy as they work to stabilize MPS finances.
