DEKALB COUNTY, GA (AP) -
A metro Atlanta school board is set to decide on proposed budget cuts that could lead to fewer school resource officers and other changes.
DeKalb County school board members are scheduled to vote Monday night on the plan, which would cut 10 school resource officer positions.
School resource officers in DeKalb County have opposed the proposed cuts, saying they could put students' safety in jeopardy.
School board members have been trying to fill a $73 million budget gap. The board has been considering several options, including a property tax increase, two teacher furlough days, the elimination of 140 central office positions, and increasing class size by one student.
