Rochester Schools Superintendent Jean-Claude Brizard is proposing a $686.9-million budget for the 2009-2010 school year; it is a $4.5-million decrease from the current year. It also reflects a $13.4-million reduction in proposed state aid to city schools.

Brizard will present the budget to the School Board at 6 p.m. tonight at the district's central office, 131 West Broad Street. The presentation will also be broadcast live on Channel 15.
