The documents presented at the budget workshop are posted on the district web site here (Adobe Acrobat required).
In what I thought was a productive discussion the administration presented details from a list of 27 items totaling about $1.9 million in potential savings. Virtually all of the items represent reductions in personnel and services to students or the community. Each item is listed in the document with a summary of the savings and the impact on the district and district goals.
The list includes suggested reductions in administrative staffing, support staff, elementary and middle school arts programming, custodial services, middle and high school teaching staff. A few other areas not yet detailed, are also found at the bottom of the list. These should provide a few more options to add to the list.
The meeting on Wednesday served only to introduce this list and the board requested more information on many of the items. No decisions or prioritization of the list have been made at this point.

I see that the part time principal at Maywood is on the chopping block. I am saddened to see that. That would leave Ann Schroeder in charge of 500 students alone. There have been significant behavior issues this year at Maywood which has me concerned for the other students at this school if there is no administrator on site. It was a hard fought battle to have Deb Lyons put in place just 2 years ago. I think it would be a large mistake to make a cut in that area.
To clarify, I DO understand there is no easy cut. $1,000,000 needs to be found this year and every year following. This $45000 is just not worth it to me and the safety of the children at this building.
New rule. Nobody gets gets to protest a proposed cut without suggesting an equal dollar amount cut in exchange.
How many kids do the principals of the CG schools have to deal with?
And her job would be a lot easier if they were all in one school......
Do teachers currently have to assist with the costs of health insurance like other state workers?
