[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Like many have said, start with reducing staff and consultants at Gatehouse. [/quote]

Please, GAC is a wee bit of the budget. You barely save anything even if you slash a third of it. The real money is in the instructional positions that exist in every school as there are hundreds.

Prime example is School Based Technology Specialist. No idea why an ES with 300 kids needs the same full time position as a 1,300 kid high school. Cut half of the positions and reinvest!

Also, for f’s sake get rid of AAP centers and buses [/quote]

The specialists at Willow Oaks (the bulk are at Willow Oaks, not GAC) are more than "a wee bit of the budget."  If you were to survey staff actually working with students in schools, I would expect that the majority would rather keep their SBTS, who help staff with all the software programs and accounts and tech setup (basically everything except the actual hardware) vs. keeping the pet project specialists at Willow Oaks.  If you want to get rid of some tech positions, there are layers upon layers of SBTS manager types and other special projects tech people at Willow Oaks and Wilton Woods that could go in a tough budget year.
