If we should not get this approved, it is not going to be pretty. The students are going to lose a lot. The teachers will lose 22 days from their year, half the Para-educators will be laid off. There goes the extra support in the classrooms. Also the Health Techs would be gone, and the office support. That would put the one person in the office to care for the office and the health room. There would not be the Paras to take the disruptive children out of the room anymore. Not to mention the buses would not be getting repaired and or the buildings.
I know it sounds like gloom and doom, but it could happen. People are struggling to keep food on their tables. Too many are getting laid off. So here we are asking for a $1.35 per $1000 of value on their property. What scares me is I can see many thinking it would be a good way to cut out an expense. No, it is going to cause a greater expense if it is not passed. Then we have the State wanting to make big cuts in education. Something is very wrong there. I believe the State constitution says that the State will fund education.
The vote is going to be completely by mail this time. That should be interesting. I wonder how many will not remember to vote, or won't want to waste the stamp.
OK, I'll get off my soap box. My concern is a very real concern as I am a Health Tech in this District. I don't want to lose the job I love. I actually get up in the morning looking forward to going to work. Is that weird or what???
Well we have a long weekend this weekend. Three days to do what has to get done. I wonder if things will get done? Maybe.
Have a good weekend. Hope it is decent weather wherever you are.
