Boos erupted from the 150 or more people attending the Metro school board meeting Tuesday night as board members narrowly approved a $633 million budget that cuts hours for some 600 bus drivers and contracts out all janitor jobs and groundskeeping work.

The budget passed 5-4 and will go to Mayor Karl Dean to become part of Metro’s complete budget proposal for 2010-11. That spending plan — or an alternative — must be approved by Metro Council by the end of June.
