Interim Superintendent Larry Watkins said the district is still negotiating with teachers and staff on the specific cuts and to negotiate a new contract. He said last week that he won’t take a pay cut because he is making significantly less than his predecessor.

The state has not yet approved the deficit elimination plan.

Flint also has asked the Michigan Department of Treasury to approve the district borrowing up to $15.8 million against its annual state aid. The money is needed for the district to pay its bills for the rest of the year, district officials previously said.

Officials from the Michigan Department of Treasury have yet to give the district the go-ahead to borrow the money. The state has said it wants to see realistic student counts and other measures that would actually work toward eliminating the deficit.

Banks have already said no to the district borrowing, Watkins said last week, but he hopes that if treasury approves the loan that there will be other lending institutions that will loan Flint the money.

Board meetings will no longer be at the Sarvis Conference Center after the district sold the building along with the central kitchen to the Flint Cultural Center in September for $150,000.
