>BOE is separate – here is thier list as of Friday as published on NJ.com. (Not sure what Teacher/parent conferences is – did we pay extra for those? Makes sense to see communications person going, that is a waste of money.)
The proposed cuts, which were in addition to cuts proposed last week, include: Teacher/parent conferences ($57,060); two additional supervisors ($205,183); reading recovery ($191,865); an art teacher from either one of the two middle schools ($88,898); director of curriculum ($149,907); one elementary school teacher and two middle school teachers ($212,660); two middle school guidance counselors ($134,709); additional secretary cuts ($136,708); elementary instructional music ($199,981); 8.5 elementary school teachers ($510,000); flattening out special education purchases ($38,252); capital fund ($850,000); one utility person ($38,893); one staff developer ($59,000); one public information officer ($36,894); one crisis counselor ($82,283); and one middle school assistant principal ($104,813). Officials also proposed increasing student activity fees by $122,000.
Sad, but they can’t just continue to raise our taxes. A budget should be worked within, and a 4% increase should be enough.
