I watched Monday’s School Committee meeting because there were rumblings around the school about the financial stability of the district. After watching, it appears these fears are substantiated and the district is going to need to let people go yet again this year. It will interesting to see how the administration begins to reduce staff for yet another year in a row when each year it seems as if we are cutting all the ‘fat’ from the budget. I’d suggest we are pretty lean at the moment. I also found the comments that when the city’s budget was lean during the pandemic, the only cuts in personnel across the city were teachers.
