Dave66, I agree with you but with respect to the City stepping up, Im afraid that train has left the station. The time for a 'show of force' was during the budget hearings and practically no one showed to fight for the schools. So now they play the hand they're dealt. To clarify, I'm not just asking for unions to give here. Programs are going to get cut, of that I have no doubt. I think that all employees are scheduled to get a raise, a 1 or 1.5% I think. They don't have to give it back, it could be deferred but when your payroll approaches $100 million, foregoing deterring this saves approximately $1 million. The schools just need breathing room to develop a long term plan that must include the closing of buildings but it needs to be a smart plan.
