EASD Budget Vote

In an 5 to 3 vote, the school board passed the 2010 to 2011 budget with 72 teacher positions being cut.

In an shocking development, the school board did not publicly consider the reported $3.0M to $5.0M in union concessions.

On a personal note, I was dismayed and flabbergasted the school board did not take the time to careful consider the proposed union concessions. 

Now more than ever, get involved!  I still believe every voice counts!
