The Oak Creek-Franklin School Board will hold its monthly meeting tonight. Among the items on the agenda is a measure to approve the 2011-12 preliminary personnel budget. Like districts across the state, Oak Creek-Franklin's budget is particularly intriguing this year because of all the changes passed in Gov. Scott Walker's budget-repair bill. Check out Oak Creek Patch on Tuesday for more on what Oak Creek's financial picture looks like.
