The Cameron Parish School Board adopted its 2021-22 budget on Monday, making no changes from the original draft presented last month. The budget for next year is projected to show a $5.7 million deficit, leaving $27.3 million in the general fund. Revenues of $36,446,305 will be offset by expenditures of $42,144,175. The general fund balance has been steadily declining for years, at a rate of about $6 million or more per year. At the current rate, without changes, in just over four years the School Board will be out of funds.
