LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Jefferson County Public Schools' budget issues are expected to be discussed in Tuesday night's school board meeting.

The budget issues are listed on the board meeting agenda, saying there will be an audit to review of the cause of the shortfall and provide recommendations.

The district recently revealed it has about $2.5 billion in backlogged repairs on top of an $188 million budget deficit.

Superintendent Brian Yearwood said the district has to cut $132 million from next school year's budget, and that proposal is due in January.

The meeting starts at 6 p.m. Tuesday at the VanHoose Education Center.
