[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hardly believe that losing $90,000 is going to make or break a school’s budget especially since it was used for personnel.[/quote]

There are so few flexible staff positions that losing one is a big deal at lots of schools. Also? They are getting bridge funding from the Mayor. When that dries up, they be down another spot or two as well. Also, the Council only funds FoodPrints for T1s currently, so if that’s the garden program referred to, they have to fund it or it’s gone. L-T’s PTO paid $30K+ for FoodPrints last year.[/quote]

Most positions are flexible. [/quote]

Not actually though once you account for the ones you realistically have to have. Schools try to cut classroom teachers where they can, but that’s how you end up with 30 kid 1st grade classes which isn’t awesome either.[/quote]

Bancroft already has 30 kids per classroom in elementary grades. With the Title 1 funding…[/quote]

30 kids?!!![/quote]

Yep, it’s masssively popular in the community and I guess space is more of an issue than staff. Urban neighborhood, so no space for trailers[/quote]
