That’s a fancy term for “broke.”
Worse than being broke though, is not knowing how you can spend your money or even how much you’ve got.
Right now, because the state legislature has yet to pass a budget, that’s the situation each and every school district finds itself in.
Worse yet, there are possibilities. One version of the budget, the House version, cuts out two instructional days. Administrators don’t know if that will become reality, but they have to plan that it will. Teachers will get that much less pay. Students will get that much less instruction. The state saves $30 million or so.
Read tomorrow’s paper for more info about it. I definitely did not enjoy talking to administrators about this, because it’s never fun talking about how you’re going to do more with less.
