So there was relatively good news at the School Board meeting tonight. With parent fundraising, further budget cuts and a renegotiated contract with staff the Board was able to pass budget that includes:
Class Size Reduction at 25:1 for grades k-3
Middle school electives
3-5 science lab
and a middle school counselor
1-5 PE will be funded at a partial level (around 50% - which would mean 1/2 time) with the hope that fundraising over the summer, notably The Taste of the Beach in August, will be able to bring it back up to a full time position.
The down side is that the renegotiated contract (which the staff has yet to vote on - but seems on board with) includes 5 furlough days.
I'll post more about this as I have time, but I wanted to just get the bullet points out.
