Expect more multi-million-dollar budget cuts by the Lake Washington School District LWSD this year. But this time around, the district may be out of options for avoiding teacher layoffs, as it was able to do last year.

Last year, LWSD was forced to cut $7.7 million from its budget, but in the end, there were no teacher layoffs.

According to the Redmond Reporter, LWSD is facing $7.4 million in cuts for the 2010-11 budget cycle if the current state budget, proposed by Gov. Chris Gregoire, is approved.
