OTTAWA — If the state’s financial crisis continues and the governor and legislators keeping cutting the state’s aid to public education, Ottawa school superintendent Dean Katt said the school board faces some unpopular decisions, including cutting full-time kindergarten and scaling back the special education program.

Katt and other local government officials discussed their concerns with area legislators this week.
