MUNCIE -- Refrigerators. Textbooks. Summer school. Health insurance. Classroom aides. School newsletters.

All could be transformed under the latest proposal to cut millions from Muncie Community Schools' bottom line.

Associate Supt. Mark Burkhart prepared a list of cuts that would affect every school and staff member at some level. As of this week that list is estimated to save almost $2.9 million from the general fund, plus $2.3 million from the capital projects, transportation and bus replacement funds.

If those estimates are accurate, they would fill the gaps of the cuts needed for 2010.

• Wa-Nee Schools in Elkhart County hit for $887,848 in funding shortfalls

• Richmond Community Schools faces $3 million shortfall

• K-12 reductions require more Zionsville Community Schools cuts

• New Albany-Floyd County schools need to cut $6.6 million

• Sports programs could be hurt by Muncie schools' budget cuts

• East Chicago schools cut 12 administrators

• Muncie schools to cut one administrator

• Up next for Muncie Schools: Cuts for prep athletics
