After rereading my message, I wanted to clarify and update the following about the budget advisory committee:
"Here are a few updates on some of our union business:
* The budget advisory committee met for the last time and submitted our suggestions to Jose Manzo for review to take to the board. This information will be reported out on the March 9th board meeting. Our suggestions limited the financial impact to the classroom. We also discussed retrying the parcel tax as well as other revenue generators. "
The underlined part didn't sound so good. Here is my update, I wanted to be clear that our suggestions would not have an impact on the classroom:
* The budget advisory committee met for the last time and submitted our suggestions to Jose Manzo for review to take to the board. This information will be reported out on the March 9th board meeting. Our suggestions kept any budget cuts from having an affect on the classroom and focused on revenue generators for the district. We also discussed retrying the parcel tax as well as other revenue generators.
Sorry for any of the confusion, have a great rest of your day!
