OKLAHOMA CITY - Oklahoma City Public Schools will increase class sizes in the coming year but won't close any schools to cut as much $10 million from the budget, officials said Thursday night.

At least for now.

Superintendent Aurora Lora announced plans to reduce teaching positions by increasing elementary school class sizes, cutting contracts and central office expenditures and spending down operating cash.

The recommended reductions, most of which do not require school board approval, come one year after the district cut $30 million in salaries, programs, services and supplies.
