Budget blues 1.0 - staff cuts for District 6 schools
The administration has provided the current worst case estimate of potential staff cuts for each school in District 6 - if funding for education is not provided.
Cuts like these will help to further undermine public education. The magnet schools and learning centers will be destroyed - this has been the agenda of some for many years.
At the same time, the Dallas ISD Board has an Ad Hoc Charter School Committee working full time to take even more resources in order to open the door to more charter schools.
I wasn't elected to create charter schools. Dallas ISD went down that path before with Edison.
I was elected to support, strengthen and stand up for public education with public accountability - not to make decisions that help to destroy public education.
Presently, the agenda is all about advancing privatization schemes that take away even more teachers, students and resources needed now even more than ever before.
Will Trustees now help to kill the public school system we were elected to serve?
