Carthage Approves $40.8 million Budget

From today’s Joplin Globe (emphasis is mine):

CARTHAGE, Mo. — While noting that more changes may be needed later, officials of the Carthage School District on Monday night recommended a $40.8 million preliminary budget for the fiscal year that starts July 1.
