[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cuts to PK next school year [/quote]

This won’t be the case. More likely cuts to social workers, counselors, multi-lingual teachers, sped teachers, and then if needed cuts to grade level bands.

Pre-K brings in students, even if some parents switch schools in K+. 
Also many NW schools already only have PK4, so it’s highly unlikely they will cut anything else.

It’s more likely to cut specialized teachers who are not homeroom teachers before grade level bands.[/quote]

This. They will also give schools new budgets and ask them to cut whatever they can to meet it before making decisions at the district level. So one school might decide to drop a special, while a different school might choose to cut a counselor, etc. They aren't going to make system-wide cuts if they can help it. And reducing the shortfall to 410m instead of 1.1b makes that possible.

I am frankly more worried about cuts to policing. And if Bowser was smart, she'd really publicize and public safety cuts because that's what is going to get Trump to lean on Congress to pass funding when they get back on the 28th. Trump doesn't care about the schools.[/quote]
