Sparta Looks to Save with Custodial Privatization

SPARTA — Sparta Area Schools has contracted with CSM Services to provide custodial services. The district is facing a $1.2 million projected deficit for next year. Contracting this service is expected to save the district approximately $275,000, according to The Grand Rapids Press.

The district may also cut two teaching positions, cut back on special education and cut a few administrative positions to balance its budget, according to the Sparta/Kent City Advance.
