[NOBE-L] Article about cuts to school funding

[Kathy]

Hello,

I just read the article linked below. It is certainly ominous about funding shortfalls for schools in the coming year due to the virus shutdowns and continuing concerns. Those of you who are teaching, I wonder if you have seen any early signs of budget concerns in your school or district. Ours with 20 schools has posted perhaps a fourth of new staffing positions compared to previous years. This is an attempt not to need to RIF anyone by instead hiring conservatively. S ome retirements are not being filled, and even in schools growing in population, new positions are few and very far between. That is all I have tangibly noticed here thus far. Here is the article:

Grace and Peace,
