The Budget Task Force met last week and they walked through the Budget Tool. Scroll down to the August 20 meeting date to see the agenda and materials.

The savings of cutting centers and keeping at all base schools is not that great (1.7M) - probably because the savings in transportation was eaten up by adding staff at base schools that don't have AAP.  As for eliminating transportation for students that have local level IV is was .6M - that is minimal as well.  You really need to bark up some other tree to get savings- these are just so incredibly small in the big scheme.[/quote]

Most of the proposed cuts are small like this.  In total they will add up to significant cuts,  and if done right  they will be evenly distributed to the whole student population.  Every population will be effected if the budget deficit is not rectified.  [/quote]

EXACTLY!

This needs to be approached much the way the federal budget was in the movie "Dave" (with Kevin Kline).  Lots of little cuts add up to massive savings.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZARAldXlSyA[/quote]
