[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nice summary, 12:30

What FCAG does not want to say is there are budget realities, and the "I'm Mad As Hell And I'm Not Going To Take It Anymore" approach will not help address these realities.

FCAG [b]could[/b] offer a positive proposal instead, offering a solution that's somewhere in the middle of keeping everything the same and eliminating all centers and transportation.  (For example, a proposal such as identifying overcrowded AAP centers where there is critical mass at the base school and eliminating transportation to the Center school (but still providing choice).) [/quote]

So many options, [b]but to claim AAP is somehow untouchable[/b] in the face of a $70-100 million shortfall is arrogantly tone deaf. [/quote]

Not sure what the bolded refers to -- I certainly have never stated any program or item is "untouchable." In my opinion, zero-based budgeting would be the way to go. But I doubt any elected School Board member has the stomach for zero-based budgeting.

In addition, the political reality is there will likely be additional monies from the state and the Big Bad Budget Deficit will be nowhere near what was first postulated when the Budget Task Force when first convened.[/quote]
