Oklahoma City Public Schools could close schools and reconfigure grades at other schools in order to cut as much as $10 million from the district's budget, Superintendent Aurora Lora said Wednesday.

"We're starting to prepare scenarios," Lora told The Oklahoman. "We can't keep cutting teachers and supplies, so at this point we are looking at possible closures and changes to grade configurations at some schools to save money."

Last spring, the district cut $30 million in salaries, programs, services and supplies to counter the state's projected budget deficit.

This spring, the district is preparing to cut between $4 million and $10 million in anticipation of a nearly $900 million shortfall the state is projecting for the 2018 fiscal year.
