I thought this was a good budget. I'm very disappointed, but we'll have to see what happens from here. |
The budget was the best we could do. It was at cap. We had put back in lower class sizes, and we had added personnel back in. I don't know what the Township Council will ask for, but I'm very disappointed. |
We addressed the class sizes, which was a big concern of parents, and we brought special education students back into the district to be with their peers, which was also a big concern of parents. |
We also have escalating fuel and energy costs. It now costs us about $1 million a year for fuel and energy. |
We have actually been able to put more teachers back in the budget, and we have addressed class size issues, which was one of the biggest concerns of parents. |
With a cap of four percent, how do you accommodate big numbers like that? |
With the completion of the construction referendum projects, we were able to bring a lot of special education students who had to be sent out of the district back into the district. |
