2011-12 Budget Pork - The Whole 9 Yards

It's getting time to fish or cut bait. We've taken a good hard look at the proposed/draft 2011-12 SPASD budget, and we find a number of budget lines to be potentially low hanging fruit...ripe for the pickin'.

 Maybe we don't have it right...we can admit it when we make an error...but it places the burden of proof squarely upon the district. PROVE to the community that you absolutely need all that is budgeted, and you have our support.

 Otherwise...get your pencils sharpened. We believe quite strongly that we can fund at least the first two initiatives recommended by the district, and still get the tax levy increase down to 2.5% or less.
