The state’s budget troubles will force Georgia’s school board to meet this week to figure how to deal with pending education cuts. The state Department of Education will meet and try to come up with a plan to cut up to 171-million dollars from the state K-12 budget. For Georgia as a whole, Governor Sonny Perdue has called for all agencies to cut six-percent from its budgets, in trying to deal with lagging state revenues and an expected 1.6 billion dollar shortfall.
