Thank you! BOE budget items lurk in the shadows. Many programs we fund are often dreamed up by the State and pushed down to the districts to implement.
Schools could be consolidated here as enrollment decreases. And some 'luxury' programs should be trimmed. Downsizing administrators and support staff should be considered as well. And a 'few hundred' dollars on top of inflation is a bridge too far.
