The Saline Area Schools budget forum originally scheduled for Thursday has been rescheduled to May 26.

The forum is intended to get community input about ways to close a projected $5.95 million budget gap.

In an earlier forum, Superintendent Scot Graden offered a number of potential ideas for cutting the budget, which included teacher layoffs, sports funding and busing changes. Graden said in an e-mail this morning that school administration wanted to wait until it got more information about budget figures for the district from Lansing before meeting with the community for a second time.

The forum will be held on May 26 at 6:30 p.m. in the Liberty School Media Center.

"Over the next two weeks we will continue to refine projections and develop scenarios to be discussed in the May 26 forum," the e-mail states.
