Jps board approves budget
The Jackson school board on Thursday night approved a $232 million budget but left unresolved several expenditures, including for school nurses, new buses and new textbooks for three schools that are under construction.
The city council approved the more than $55 million proposed 2011-2012 budget last night, despite some hesitance from mayor Andy Klein about the council's recent spending decisions and the slow decrease of the city's newfound surplus.
