A message from the School Board Chair:
Great feedback from the community on Monday night regarding music. We really appreciate it being done in a respectful way.
School budgets are very complex and especially hard for districts the size of ours to navigate through. Of course, the school wants to offer as much as possible, but this is hard to accomplish sometimes. As mentioned at the school board meeting, we all look at things through our own lens. Some say music is the most important, so please don’t reduce a position. Others would say class size is the most important so please reduce class sizes, because some believe smaller class sizes suggest more engagement and a better learning environment. This option requires adding teachers. Others would say busing is the top priority for the school board to address, because if my kids can’t make it to school what else matters? This could mean adding bus drivers or even buying more mini buses so a driver doesn’t need a CDL to drive a bus. These are just a few items, the list of budget topics is very long.
Everything comes at a cost. We believe the school district does its best to manage the budget. The worst thing the school can do is overspend and be forced to go back to the taxpayer.
We didn’t misspeak the other night when stating the budget is officially voted on in July, but if a teaching position will be reduced, it will happen before April 15, as required by North Dakota Century Code.
