Under the proposed budget, new positions would be created for extra-curricular activities, including coaches for cross-country running, swimming and cheerleading. The district also wants to hire an assistant principal at Needwood Middle School and a campus monitor at Brunswick High.

A spokesperson with the district said there will be two more meetings before the budget goes up for a vote in July to approve the proposal.
