The district is cutting the DARE program, all junior high sports, library aide time, custodian postion, safety patrol, 1 secretary position, "pause" on curriculum supplies, to name a few. Next year on the chopping block closing two emementary buildings, going back to every other day kdg., eliminating preschools, etc.

This is from a district that the auditors said was in good shape, two months ago. Notice no cuts at the admin. level?? They refuse to get in their fund balance. We are negot. a contract.

B Library aide time was to be cut in half. BUT now they are all being cut except the top two, who will travel around the district's eight elementary buildings providing 20 minutes of book check out and 10 minutes of shelving.

House value is rising! I just noticed our house value is rising again, so the teaching field can't be too far off! All in good time, right? Just think of what we can tell our grandkids, "Back in my day there was an evil thing called a 'charter school'"!! Hang in there dear teacher friends!!!!
