    Superintendent Edgar Hatrick made small revisions to proposed budget cuts for Loudoun County Schools in Virginia. The total cuts were reduced from $22 million to $11.7 million. Two programs - elementary mathematics facilitators and an SAT prep program - will be eliminated, cutting 13 and 6.5 positions respectively. In total, the revisions eliminate 19.5 positions and $1.6 million in costs. The cuts aim to address a projected $11.7 million budget shortfall while minimizing impacts on current school staff.
