Well, here is the updated info sent to me.
This is a public meeting, folks - and a good time to make our feelings
known BEFORE Tuesday's Board of Ed meeting. Cortines has stated the
need to cut over $800 million from the District's budget for 09-10 and
the plan is to cut the central office by 30% and each of the local districts
by 50% in addition to a likely layoff of hundreds if not thousands of employees from offices and, possibly, school sites.
The federal stimulus money will be here within weeks and may be used to
backfill some of these losses but the process has not been transparent and
parents must demand to be a part of the process.
