We are doing our leaders of tomorrow a disservice, said one administrator. Educators have been warning for years that revenue controls will force districts to make cuts that harm the quality of education children receive, WEAC President Terry Craney said. It is time to end this destructive law. Districts with declining enrollments report more serious problems than districts with increasing numbers of students. Enough is enough, Craney said.
Every child deserves to be in a classroom that works with a trained and qualified teacher.
Great schools benefit our entire state, and every state resident should join the call to end revenue controls. No money, no programs. We have been using imagination, reform, renewal and more efficient strategies for three years but we have hit a point of diminishing returns. No way to go but back to strategies like excluding, cutting programs, increase size of classes. By 2004 we will have tightened the budget and streamlined programs and will have nothing else to cut but core instructional programs.
