Budget situation

Last Updated on Friday, January 25, 2008 at 5:01 AM

I have been notified by the Governor’s administration that the budget outlook for 2008-10 is extremely bleak.  As a result, the SEEK formula is being considered for a possible reduction.  In my opinion, a reduction in the SEEK formula would be devastating for elementary and secondary education. 

It is important that each school district superintendent start estimating how a 7% reduction in the SEEK formula would impact your school district.  I will be in touch with you as more information comes forward but I wanted you to know what we may be facing. 

This message will also go to principals and teachers so that everyone is aware of the situation.
