Tonight, our school district had a town meeting to discuss its current budget woes. According to the district, "Despite all of the cost cutting measures and local fundraising efforts undertaken these past few years, the dismal State budget will force the District to identify an additional $7 million in cuts to be implemented over the next two years in order for the District to remain solvent."Of course, implementation of such a plan is potentially complicated, but halting the shrinking of class sizes (especially when class size-quality arguments are problematic) and non-teacher staff growth (and reverting to presumably reasonable historic lows) doesn't seem to be a bad place to begin the conversation.
