Budget Woes??

SLHS Community,
As we enter the Holiday season, our staff is dealing with imminent changes as discussions begun around the proposed $70 million budget cuts over the next two years.  In our November 10th meeting educators' passion along with cocerns from our school community were heard.  The possibility of schools losing staff and possibly compensation has created some tension within the district.  From the 20+ members of our school budget committee, each proposed innovative ideas for cuts and made a stand to get their voice heard without taking the survey provided by the district.  I have total faith and trust in both my staff and our community to find the appropriate avenues and forums to be heard.  Dr. Stevenson is visiting our school today to provide an in depth glimpse into the process and of course try and answer the multitude of questions surrounding the budget. 

I want to personally thank you as a community for all the support you continue to provide SLHS.  As we enter into a new phase of education with the very real possibility of larger class sizes, less course offerings, and possibly a differentiated school week, our partnership is becoming even more integral to our success than ever before.  We need to be a united front working to enhance the learning for all of our students.  I know this community will continue to move forward, step up, and be dilligent with the work that lies ahead.
