School budget

School Board Chair John Stevens has written several posts about the school budget on his blog. He also included a link to At-large School Board member Tom Reed's survey looking for what people think should be cut.

I think Reed's survey is disingenuous at best. Where are the cuts to technology spending? Where are the cuts to grounds maintenance? I do like the increase to walk-zones.

Now that the Board of Supervisors has given the School Board a chunk of money, remember that it is up to the School Board to decide how to spend it. If you have strong feelings about what should be saved and what should be cut - especially if you spoke at the BOS public hearings - make sure that your voice gets heard by the School Board.
