By Karla Wennerstrom
Changes in how the Eden Prairie School District can levy funds could result in a smaller projected deficit, the School Board learned recently.
The district was anticipating a deficit of about $10.3 million for the 2010-2011 school year.
At its meeting Aug. 26, the Eden Prairie School District heard about two changes that might mean that shortfall is reduced to $7.3 million in 2010-2011.
