Parish schools trim $9 million, balance budget

Superintendent Bob Webber said he "feels good" about the new budget, which totals more than $201 million. That figure includes all local, state and federal funding.
"When we started with a $9.2-million deficit, it looked bad," Webber said. "We knew we were going to have to make some changes."
