Voters' support is appreciated

Every time school board members set out to work on the budget we find ourselves trying to balance our upward trajectory in student achievement against the monetary request and impact on our local community. How far can the budget be scrubbed, trimmed and streamlined and still maintain the good work of the staff and students?

We take that responsibility seriously. Every time we go through this process the debate eventually centers on how close to the line we can come before hitting the tipping point and adversely affecting student achievement.
