4/11/2002The Buffalo Board of Education approved a proposed $500 million budget Wednesday that would raise class sizes in September, reduce extra help for struggling students and gut plans to improve the system's traditionally weak efforts to recruit and retain teachers.
The plan also would reduce maintenance at the city's aging school buildings, eliminate late buses after extracurricular activities, hamper efforts to upgrade the system's troubled computer system, cut teacher training and prevent schools from replacing damaged textbooks or buying updated materials.
