The Board of Education in Buena
Vista, Mich., has declared a financial emergency. The school district
lacks the funds to pay teachers for the rest of the school year, MLive.com reports.
Students from the Buena Vista School District have not attended
classes in a week, according to MLive.com. The district laid off all its
teachers earlier this week.
The financial problems stem from three months of withheld state aid
payments from the Michigan Department of Education. MLive.com reports
that "the district took $401,962.51 to educate students from the
Wolverine Secure Treatment Center who no longer attend the district."
The district also is suffering from declining enrollment, which has led to a loss in state funding, according to MLive.com
