Fortunately, we have a room next year for this mandated program. |
Our dilemma is that our operating budget is less than 3 percent, which is indicative of several cuts that were already at zero. |
The whole process is taking us backward in attitude. We're looking at special education costs versus operating costs. I wish the state would consider doing something about special education funding in small towns such as ours. It would make a world of difference. |
We appreciate the idea but don't feel we can reduce office staff here. There is a lot more to what we do such as educational grants. |
