The Midland Public School system stands to take a major hit from the Governor Granholm's proposed k12 budget.
Midland Public Schools stand to lose more than 5 million dollars.
Carl Ellinger is the Superintendent of Midland Public Schools.
He says they were prepared for the 165 dollar per pupil cuts. But he knew their budget could not withstand anything much further than that.
"We'd have two choices we'd continue to take it out of our savings account, which would mean we would use 60 percent of our savings account to get through this year budget which I think is unfair of the governor and the legislature to put us in that position. Because here we are one third of the way through our school year. Plus I don't like the position financially that leaves the district because we could not weather that kind of hit two years in a row. It is even less certain how public schools would be funded in the 2010-2011 school year."
Ellinger says the proposed cuts leave the Midland School District in a dangerous place financially.
