Doing More with Less

What does doing more with less really mean? In Saline, it has meant closing (and selling) buildings, employee concessions, charging more fees, cutting services like elementary counseling, and reducing administrators. Losing revenue and managing increasing expenses has not been a pleasant experience for anyone. When it comes to the budget, I have high school students asking me the same questions I get at administrative meetings. Even with a combination of the budget management tactics listed above – next year will be challenging.

I strongly encourage you to attend the May 26th Community Budget Forum to get information and share your feedback about these issues. The forum will be held in the Liberty School Media Center, starting at 6:30pm.
