(WBIR-Oak Ridge) Budget problem continue for Oak Ridge Schools.
The district now says it might have to temporarily shut down schools if city officials cannot provide $250-thousand dollars to fund the district's budget.
The state recently notified the system that it has a lower budget than in years' past. The state's "maintenance of effort" law states the budgets cannot decrease.
If the situation is not fixed, the state could pull nearly $2-million dollars in funding per month.
School officials say they could have to shut down schools starting on October 1st if they cannot find the money or reach a resolution.
