Rachel- possible to find out how many if any administrators are being laid off? They represent a top heavy number of employees not in the classroom.
While it is good news that these are marginal cuts, as opposed to the reduction in force cuts that were seen previously, there remains the large issues of declining enrollment. I have yet to see a pronounced vision from the school board with tangible actions to bring back up enrollment. All I hear are excuses and complaining from the superintendent.
