Douglas County School Board trustees will be back at work on the budget, presenting information on other places the district should cut and a recommendation that up to $500,000 from a loan to the self-insurance fund be repaid to help balance the budget.. Last month, trustees were still $110,000 short of the cuts they needed to make this year. Among the ways discussed to make up that difference were cutting field trips, having athletes pay to play sports, cutting travel to nonleague sporting events and making travel off campus more efficient. Trustees meet 3:30 p.m. at Douglas High School. The budget discussion is set for 5:05 p.m.
