FLINT, MI (WNEM) -

The Flint School Board will meet Wednesday for the first meeting since Superintendent Linda Thompson announced her resignation last week.

The board is expected to consider approving the district's annual financial audit.

The district is facing a $4 million budget deficit, an increase from a year ago.

However, the board says it does plan to come out of the red by the end of the school year.
