Our question goes to the scool board... but first we want to point out the following:
1. Your budgets are the same every year, unless you raise taxes.
2. Your raises mean you have to cut staff every year to pay for increases.
3. When you add a program like all day kindergarten,the money must come from somewhere, so cut more staff.
4. Cut staff to add kindregarten all day and pay for the construction.
So the question is, why not add Pre-K too? Some states pay for Pre-K (preschool) and require attendence. You guy are on a roll, and from what we hear (snicker, snicker) it helps kids get into college.
So to do so, you would need to CUT MORE staff for the construction and staffing. Will we have any more staff left in five years at the rate of your spending? If so, will it all be administration? So the real question is, if you need to cut staff, doesn't that mean less administration is needed? When will that be cut? When will those individuals raises be halted or their pensions looked at?
Stop the spending and stop the cuts, unless it is to the paper pushers. Leave the teachers alone so we can count on them to give our children a good education!
