Una I need a draft memo on the cutback plan that can share confidentially before finalising my proposal to the Superintendent. According to Jerome, someone alerted members of the PIA Spanish Language Subcommittee that their program is targeted, while IEP Subcommittee members are angry that the special ed program may have layoffs. The Superintendent apparently thinks that we should increase our student/teacher ratio closer to 20, which somehow got back to the union rep, and she's been on the phone with dire warnings about a teacher strice. Ineed financial before the PTA meeting next Friday. Can you please put together a memo-clear draft watermark and addressed only to me--that lays out the scenarios we brainstormed yesterday? To be clear we are on the same pape.clease compare: (1) elimination of Spanish language program no point messing round-ther we commit or we don't): (2) 19.8 student/teacher ratio in mainstream program (3) across the board 12% cut (4) the targeted approach we discussed yesterday. You can also let me know which you think is the best way to maintain educational continuity and quality while making the required reductions Can you please put together a memo-clear dat watermark and addressed only to me that lays out the three scenarios we brainstormed yesterdayTo be clear we are on the same page please compare: (1) elimination of Spanish language program no point messing around-ether we commit or we don't 121198 student/teacher ratio in mainstream program and (3) the targeted reductions that we discussed yesterday On the last, le confirmed that Mc Heckey, Ms. Net and Ms. Huffman will retire next year. Let's see what happens if we hold those lines open and also take seven furlough days spread throughout the school year. We'll close the school, so we can get savings from admin and O&M as well as instruction, I think the Spanish program will have to wil lund their own travel or cancel the trip. And I do think we have to cut instructional and library supples. Let's try a 15 percent out there, and I'll show good wil by absorbing 30 percent in admin supples. We can doa lot with O&M, namely put of the new cafeteria kitchen, I know the PTA wants to get away from frozen district meals, but I think we could ask them to get involved in fundraising on that. We had $85,000 budgeted for the kitchen not sure we can cut elsewhere in O&M other than the reduction we get hom the furlough. Can you model these four options and let me know how close we can get to the 12 percent? Also, would appreciate your thoughts on instructional and other stakeholder impacts. I did get clarification on indirect cost allocation from the District They track our reductions in health and OR but they are going to treat the rest of the Indirects as feed to a mixed bag there. Need meme by Tuesday so I can have some conversations before the Friday beard meeting, thanks! Hida
