This evening Richard assured us that he is trying to "cut as far from the classroom as possible".
If that is the case I have a suggestion: eliminate the subsidies for board members' health insurance.
District taxpayers pay $15,108 per year towards their health insurance. How many children at our school have no insurance? Too bad there is virtually no school nurse anymore due to "efficiency" measures to "share" the nurse.
Odd that they would keep this nice perk for themselves and yet propose axing the lunch program. What about all the kids receiving free and discounted lunches because they live in poverty. How many lunches can their perks buy for our children?
If we parents hadn't spoken up against their slash and burn plan to axe the lunch program and other services last year our children would have gone the entire day hungry. How much learning can happen on an empty stomach?
So much for trying to "cut as far from the classroom as possible".
