As you get an opportunity to visit with your legislators over the next two weeks, a few items to keep in mind.
How did we get into this situation?
- Years of cuts from the base, special education and LOB Equalization Aid Reduction
- Caused by a recession, slowed economy but more important legislative tax cuts
Understand your district's history
- What cuts and reductions have been made over the last 8 years
- Projects that need to be completed
- Local increases, LOB or Capital Outlay
- Student and Staff needs
What do you need to reach your district's goals?
- Staffing (Cost)
- Programs (Cost)
- Projects (Cost)
- Almost yearly expense increases (Energy, Fuel, Supplies, Insurance and Other)
Education is not a zero-sum business our students and schools are consumers. We know we can’t afford everything, but we also know we can’t get the need results without a serious investment.
