In the coming school year’s budget, cuts were made to the stipends of some clubs’ advisers. Tuesday night, school board member Dave White sought to have funds returned to four long-time OHS clubs. Sam Tripp, board president, said he supported the idea. But, the money would have to come from some other place as he won’t increase the budget.
The Oswego School Board member says the superintendent is trying to do something right. Instead of cutting him, the board should give him a chance. “I want to see if he can pull this (budget) off with no tax increase,” Hoefer added. The superintendent will present his proposed spending plan next week.
Budget discussions kick into high gear for school board. The superintendent will present his budget proposal to the board in the middle of next month. Board members say they want to keep the tax rate at zero, or even reduce it. Through all of the budget talks, the specter of staff cuts looms.
The board member has released confidential contract information to the public, according to the Association of Administrative Personnel. The situation is similiar to that which got him removed from the board in June of 2004.All Content Copyright Dot Publishing 2024.
