[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think some extra flexibility for principals is actually a great thing. Deciding to close a classroom in a grade with a smaller enrollment in order to, e.g., add a specials teacher or an interventionalist is a good choice to permit principals to make rather than downtown.[/quote] Sure flexibility is good but not when funding is cut severely. That leaves you with no flexibility but to cut the extras such specials, interventionist, social workers, etc..to use the money needed for teachers.[/quote] Sure, but that’s a quantity of money thing not a flexibility thing. In the old model, there’d be funds for X number of teachers and no other money; now a school could cut a teacher and spend the funds on something else. I don’t think the new model is a problem. The amount of funding if it represents a drastic cut? Absolutely.[/quote]
