PULASKI — Residents of the Pulaski School District have approved a $13.9 million tax levy to help support a $37.6 million general fund budget for the 2010-11 school year.
About 135 attended the district's annual meeting on Wednesday, and most supported a 2010-11 budget and overall tax levy, which is up about 2 percent from $13.6 million last year. Six people at the meeting rejected the proposed levy, according to school district officials.
So only six people rejected the plan? I bet every teacher and school bus driver was there to vote yes. And later in the article,
"District officials had to make some tough choices, though, to close a $1 million budget gap, said Pamela Kercheval, district director of business Services.
Reductions include a pay freeze for all administrators, some staff layoffs, including one teacher, and changes to benefits payments for nonunion employees.
Pay freeze for "non union" administrators, "non union" staff layoffs, changes to payments for "nonunion" employees. Sure looks like the union has the district under their control. And what's that about a teacher being laid off? I thought Obama gave schools money on the last stimulus to not layoff teachers? Sure is swell that the union never has to sacrifice.
I wonder who the six people were that were against the budget? If you are a part of the district, you know how lavish the schools are and how well the union is taken care of. Just keep on spending. The tax payers cash is endless.
What will they do next year at the Pulaski country club school district?
