For me personally it is a vindication. ... I said this $13 million was meant to scare voters into approving the referendum. There was no cash-flow crisis. |
I admit the terrible mistake I made. |
I am completely out of my comfort zone making this commitment. |
I'm disappointed that after July 1, that the administration did not inform board members, even privately, that there had been a major change in the cost structure. |
If you analyze the district's finances, it's quite apparent there's sufficient revenue for next year and that the cuts are not necessary. |
It's not just about the Voice having free speech. The administrators, not just the students, deserve free speech. We don't have that in our district. |
The district is trying to become more financially transparent. That is why this stuff keeps coming out. Hopefully, the budget will be a good example of financial transparency. |
The numbers need to be $1 million less than they are. The board needs to take a stand against these spending levels. |
We don't exactly have a planning horizon for what we need for the schools in 12 months. It's month by month. |
What with the referendum were they truthful about? The taxes people had to pay? No. The finances? No. How much debt we had? No. How much did they get right? |
When you have referendum materials that show a cash-flow crisis and $13 million in [tax anticipation warrant] debt is needed, and that turns out not to be the case, the public was deceived. |
