How about thoughts on the budget proposal the BOE has submitted? The "free" redistricting is looking pretty costly.

Please point out the "redistricting" costs in the proposed budget. The details are all right out there. Line by line. Be careful now.

I will go one step further. Why doesn't Mr United/(United) point out where the "redistricting" costs are since the "FREE" analysis is all over his bus site?

If you don't like the budget you are either anti-teacher because the Operating/Current Expense budget is relatively unchanged from 2013-14 except for teachers or anti-adequate schools at this standpoint.



Two steps forward two weeks ago, 1/2 step back last night but with some significant Yates tea leaves despite the boxing in approach.

Where were the Wesley Chapel wolves last night? You heard from a different part of the county last night on both sides of the budget/tax issue but no WC let alone WO. BoCC still has the clown brigade in full force. How much is the Helms name still worth here? I feel for Coto and Yates. Not sure why Yates is here. He is too smart for UC.

Can't wait for the June 16th fireworks show.



The budget/appeal tango will be settled on or before June 30. Your tax rate depends on musical therapy, perhaps a carveout for tango music, of all things...

True What's the over-under on the relevance of the current budget proposal once Raleigh hands down the next challenge - big cuts in teacher assistants and squeezied textbook, technology, and transportation funds? Back to the drawing board? Other districts are producing contingency plans, dipping into emergency and rainy- day funds. I wonder how our emergency fund is doing ...

No, it's all about music therapy...

So you are saying that all of the expansion of core facilities at the schools that are now receiving an influx of students would have been in this years budget proposal if redistricting wasn't happening? Some reason I doubt they would have been expanding lunchrooms, serving lines, etc without it. And while I'm glad it's happening because we are moving to stay in our schools and our schools are one of the ones being expanded, it's awfully coincidental that these things are happening now.

I think it's stupid there are "good" and "bad" public schools.

Just because some kids don't live in a 500,000 house, it shouldn't mean they get "bad" education.

I think folks need to enroll their kids in private school as opposed to wanting to segregate schools by those with higher incomes to get better public education and those with lower incomes to get worse public education.

It just doesn't seem fair to the kids.

Read the budget including all the exhibits.

All of those great SV examples were in the jury award that is on appeal, pre-redistricting. It has been outlined for years.

There is a deal on the table to settle it. It was outlined and documented by Yates on Monday night. It's all in black and white. Things may finally get fixed and be a little more equitable.
