2009-2010 Proposed Budget Reductions

As a district we are facing financial challenges. We have already cut $82.2 million from our budget and we expect to face severe cuts in the near future. Historically our district has been proactive in identifying initiatives that will save the most money and have the least impact on the classroom. Please review the attachment, which has been developed with input from various groups of school personnel, and understand that more reductions may be necessary.

Our goals all along have been to: (1) do all we can to protect our students and the classroom and make sure our schools have the resources and personnel they need, and (2) do all we can to ensure that our employees still have jobs and maintain their benefits. Note layoffs are not a part of any budget reductions.
