Marble Falls school officials look at other ways to close budget gap

MARBLE FALLS — Even if voters nix shifting a penny in the 2012-2013 Marble Falls Independent School District tax rate, officials will find other ways to close a $404,000 gap in the budget, officials said.

Meanwhile, schools are being asked to cut 5 percent across the board to balance a proposed budget of $43.4 million for fiscal year 2012-2013.
