Comments:
* First of all...the Governor does not really care like he
pretends he does. Maybe it’s because his own kids won't be affected by all
his budget cuts that he wants the schools to do. He can afford to buy them
a good education. Most middle working class people don't have that luxury.
Maybe he and everyone in his administration should take a pay cut/freeze
also. As for the school...I guess the school administration forgot to
'inject' themselves into the budget cuts. Hopefully, when the board said
that they have debated every conceivable angle where the cuts should come
from...that they unanimously thought of not giving themselves a pay raise
and look at their benefits packages...maybe they can cut something there
that would help the kids. Because they all say they care about the kids,
then sacrificing a little of their 'perks' should not be a problem.
* As state-related employees the teachers need to make some concessions
and so does administration; personally I'd like to see their salaries
posted along with their extensive benefit package; we'll all be
SHOCKED!!(and don't forget OUR TAXES are paying for them!) I believe
student teachers could definitely fill in with any shortcomings if
positions were eliminated. This could be a win-win situation since they
need to fill their requirements. I don't believe student activities should
be eliminated; I'd pursue volunteers for coaches, assistant coaches, etc.
Personally, I'm appalled that they would even consider eliminating the
marching band, sports and field trips; again let's look at those salaries
and benefit packages!!!!!!!!!!
* Have the teachers pay for their health benefits like most of the people
in this community. I agree that the schools are top heavy with
administration personnel, let them take pay cut/pay for benefits. Also
some activities should be cut but never teachers.
* Cut/freeze salaries of the top heavy administration. Have teachers pay a
small percentage of their health care costs.
