The St. Paul school board is considering $33 million in budget cuts, including reducing administrative costs, closing buildings and changing school boundaries.

The St. Paul Pioneer Press reports the board heard a presentation on the plan with few specifics on Tuesday night. A more detailed plan will be presented on May 4.

A third of the potential cuts for next year would come from centrally administered programs and services, including reorganizing departments, eliminating positions and reducing out-of-state travel.

Other possible cuts include closing buildings, changing transportation boundaries for magnet schools and shutting down 10 school pools.

The estimated shortfall for 2010-11 is $28 million, but administrators identified $33 million in potential cuts to more flexibility.
