[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How is SH absorbing its budget cuts?[/quote]

Good question. I am on the school LSAT so we have been working on this all week. It is still being negotiated but the only way SH can absorb the budget cuts is by juggling the schedule and having the extended day program. That way the kids can still get the support programs like Read 180 AND the enrichment programs like the honors classes. Being part of the Cluster means that the school does have an advantage over some schools in that they can spread some of the work over the three campuses. So for example they have just one attendance councilor for all the schools. Next year we will have to share some other non teaching positions as well.  That helps a bit. We may also only be able to offer Spanish to some kids rather than all but that is still being worked out. Right now it looks as though the proposed honors program will be protected but all of this depends on how the budget gets petitioned out this week. For what it is worth the LSAT did not sign off on the budget as a protest against the allocated budget from DCPS. But we did discuss it at great length and I think the admin have made the best with what they were given.  [/quote]
