In this article there is a discussion of possible cuts include staff reductions, reducing custodial staff to halftime, eliminating district office classified positions, cutting hours at a teacher resource center and eliminating summer school and the GATE program for gifted students.
"We have scrutinized every aspect of district operations. We think this represents the best way to get where we need to be," Quon said.
Cutting classes and increasing the student-teacher ratio to 30-1 in grades 1,2, and 3 is possible, chief business officer Rick Hausman said.
I enjoy that the future of our nation, the kids that are supposed to grow up and be the leaders and runners of our nation are being punished because the adults can get their stuff in order. Gifted programs are an amazing way for kids to get a head start and reach for higher goals in school; test their boundaries if you will.
I think it is a shame that one teacher will have to take one the responsibility of that many children; i am scared that it will decrease a teachers want to do what they do just because of stress.
