So last night was our school board meeting to discuss this year's budget cuts. They involve quite a few teachers, including one of our band directors. The cuts this year are getting really bad and our education could really go to the dogs if all of them happen. Some teachers, students, and I went up to say a few things about the cuts. One of the interesting things we made a point to mention was the fact that none of our administration is getting cut and our supernintendant makes $132,000 a year plus $42,000 in fringe benefits. Let's just say our supernintendant really turned red when we actually made a point to mention it. I'm a bit less nervous now because I heard the board members were discussing our comments about the administration. It would really suck if we lost another band director and a lot of our extracurricular band activities would be way harder to support. I guess we'll just play it by ear and see if they keep her.
Sorry to get all political on this post, but damn, if so many wealthy people weren't getting tax cuts then maybe our school would have a decent amount of money to work with. So that's my rant for tonight.

I'm sorry to hear that it went like that, but it is an interesting fact....and lets face it, do we really need that many administrators? And Ewald does not need that much $...
I'm really bummed about the whole art teacher thing, I wish i knew who it was...Oh, and btw Adam, Tina's mom said that you spoke very well last nite so kudos, she said Aaron spoke well too. You must have used a Bruvette ;)
...And Sparkles... its "point" :D sorry, couldn't resist
I'm afraid it's like that everywhere, not just where you live.
Of course, continuing to fight is the best thing you can do, even if sometimes the fight appears futile.
