Here's a Topic: Budget Reconciliation

I'm disappointed that there are no materials (that I can find) posted on the District's website or in the NW regarding the topics that will be discussed at the Special School Board Meeting tonight.  It was obvious at the last meeting that there were not 4 votes (on the new board) for the Administrations plan.  I for one would like to know what the alternative plan(s) for cutting ~ $2M is.  

This link to the NW provides information on the original proposal.  What do you agree with, disagree with and if you disagree with a portion, where in the budget would you cut to make up the dollars?


Keep personalities out of it please, I don't want to have to shut this down when I've barely begun!

Could hardly believe my eyes this morning when I read the school board passed a budget that was almost unchanged from the one first presented by the district administrators. So much for the Schneider/Becker/Monte clan knowing so much more than anyone else and saving the day. Like em' or not, Karen Bowen and the other former board members must be giggling this morning too.

Yeh, Karen Bowen and the FORMER board liberals must be "giggling" in that they handcuffed fiscally responsible members into a plan that was a result of their incompetance! Anyone know why we are in such a mess?

Bad representation results in high taxes and high deficits!

I woner if "Karen Bowen and the other former board members must be giggling this morning too." now they spent money recklessly the past many years, raided the fund balance to balance the budget, handed the new board a 2.2 million dollar deficit, with another 4 million on its way. ARE THEY STILL GIGGLING? It seems pretty sobering the cuts that will come down and how their reckless behavior will be hurting students programs.

Anyone giggling about this terrible situation bad leadership has put us in?
