"If the cuts are not made, the district will run out of funds before the end of the school year."

People who knew the district ran in what they hoped were likely directions.

The problem is that the district ran out of money.

State officials estimate that the district will run out of money in April, two months before the end of the school year.

And unless the state intervenes again, the district will run out of money in March.

"Continuing on this path, the district will run out of cash and won't be able to pay its bills."

But the network would be so sophisticated that the 90-school district could not run it without help.

The district also runs a computer search for children with different surnames at the same address.

Besides its programs for children, the district also runs a 3,000-student adult-education program.

The district runs a federally funded, free lunch program during the summer months at several elementary schools.
