computerdisc-l: Budget Cuts and Job Cuts!



Has anyone been notified of the possibility of their job being cut next year.  We had a faculty meeting Friday and were notified that if the State Legislature did not fund education at a minimum of 46.3% of the General Fund our district would have to cut at least 15 jobs next year.  In comparison, last year's funding was 43.5%; in 1992 education received 46.5%. 
 
Our district has decided that the cuts would be as followed:
1.  District paid (excess personnel, such as secretaries)
2.  Tech Prep (7th, 8th, 9th, Discoveries and Career Center Tech)
3.  Vo-Tech
4.  Faculty
 
Our district teachers are trying to ban together to write our legislators and let them know that education needs to be fully funded.  I hope that you will consider writing, calling, emailing, faxing, writing letters to the editor...  Whatever is needed to ensure that education will be funded and jobs will not be cut.
 
If you would like the names and numbers of people to contact, please email me and I will send you a list.  Also, if you would like more information on what our district is considering doing let me know as well.
