And So the 2012-13 Budget Hurt Begins

Most probably didn't notice this report last week about a close neighbor school district just beyond the Dane Co. line:

Our own school district doesn't plan to bring anything forward regarding the 2012-13 budget until late spring.
Hmmm....why wouldn't they at least show the projected expenditure obligations?

District Faces $1.6 Million Budget Hole

That figure represents 12.5% of the entire tax levy for 2011-12!

Slipping One Past the Goalies?

"The district said it won't bring forth a new referendum in April, but it won't rule out a possible referendum in August."

Gee.... let's see...this spring could see a very LARGE electoral turnout....so why wouldn't they do a referendum then...rather than in August, when nobody other than the people that would want to push it through would be around and paying attention?  Kinda makes one wonder...eh?  Be they shenanigans afoot?
