A California school district is in the middle of a battle with its own board of education over budget cuts.
The West Palm Beach Post reports that the West Palm Beach School District's board of education voted 8-0 last night to approve a spending plan that would cut classes at five of the district's schools by next school year.
The plan would also increase class sizes by one to two students per class at the elementary and middle schools and by one to three students per class at the high school.
According to the Palm Beach Post, the five schools that would be affected by the budget cuts are Memorial High School, West Palm Beach Middle School, North Palm Beach High School, South Palm Beach Middle School, and West Palm Beach Senior High School.
The plan would also increase class sizes by one to two students per class at the elementary and middle schools and by one to three students per class at the high school.
According to the Post, the budget cuts are part of a larger trend of declining enrollment in the district.
West Palm Beach public schools saw a 38% increase in student enrollment last year, but enrollment has dropped by 5% over the last three years.
The district's superintendent says the cuts are necessary because of declining state funding.
