The TRSD approved budget is $61.7 million. If you are disapprove that, the school will get $61.8 million! That’s right, vote against their extravagence and they get more money! No matter how you vote on Tuesday March 9th, the school will have $62,000,000 to spend as it sees fit. What do you get for your $62,000,000?
•a high school that has been characterized as a School In Need of Improvement (SINI) for five consecutive years
•a school that failed to call the police or notify parents when middleschoolers were found to be intoxicated
•a high school where a student was repeatedly raped by a teacher
•a middle school where a pedophile was permitted to roam the locker rooms for fourteen months before being suspended — with pay
•a school system where the man responsible for all this has to be notified three years in advance of termination of his contract
If you think your kids deserve better, come to the Deliberative Session this Thursday and be heard!
