President's Perspective

Coming Down The Road

Right now it feels like there are so many important things happening with budget cuts and CSAP testing going on. It is so easy to feel buried in all of the challenges of life and our jobs that we don’t see the big things coming down the road.

The budget discussions for District 11 are critical. The School Board is being faced with setting the preliminary budget and trying to set the trajectory for the district in the coming years. The voices of teachers and educators are more important than they have been in recent times. This is because you are experts on the cuts being suggested and made. Your voices are critical to guiding the elected leaders to the right decisions.

It is very important that teachers attend the School Board meetings on March 3rd and March 10th. Teachers need to show up and tell the members of the School Board what they think. CSEA has shared its vision of how responsible cuts can be made in the budget and they need to know that you understand it and that you agree with it. The path lies before the School Board and they need to know that you support their decision to walk it, and the community needs to know that you support the Board in walking this path. To learn more about the path, follow the links on the right side of this page to the CSEA Perspective.

The meeting on March 3 begins at 5:30. We encourage you to show up at 5:00 to get a seat. Bring your work to grade as you sit and listen to the discussions. The community, the School Board and the district need to understand that you are keenly aware of what is going on and that you are concerned that good decisions are being made. We look forward to seeing you there on the 3rd and the 10th.

See you around the campus!
