GWINN, MI-- The Gwinn Area Community Schools District has hired a business manager and says it’s moving forward with its plan to stabilize its finances.
Amy Finkbeiner and a support team have been reorganizing the business office to deal with a $406,000 deficit from last school year.
The school board will approve a revised budget for this year at its January 15 meeting. Officials say budget cuts made this year have balanced the 2017-2018 budget. They say it’s the first step in a three-step plan for a financially stable district. The other steps include developing a deficit elimination plan and building a long-term positive fund balance.
In other district news, Brad Pfluger has been named principal of Gwinn Middle/High School starting January 29. He replaces Sandra Petrovich, who was named superintendent on December 5. Former superintendent Tom Jayne retires February 15.
