RAYVILLE – The Richland Parish School Board cut $1.8 million from its $20 million budget on Wednesday night.

The cuts include consolidating bus routes, cutting teacher supply money, eliminating vacant positions and suspending sabbatical and extended sick leave along with suspending textbook purchases.

The district will lose about 13 teaching positions; one at each of 11 schools plus two teacher positions which were added to last year’s budget to decrease class size at two of the district’s lower performing schools.

The cuts were required by a shortfall in anticipated state Minimum Foundation Program revenue, officials said.
