The big news from last night's presentation by Brian Allen at CPPAC: the deficit's down to $600,000 or so.
How?
The non-represented staff are taking at 25/75 split on health insurance (it happened in the city, so it happens in the schools).
And the health insurance is going up by only 8.5% instead of 10%. (That's the correction.)
You knew health insurance mattered!
Also, remember: the stimulus that's saving us this year only lasts for two years. We've got to start scrambling now to figure out what happens in 2012 when it runs out. If we don't, we're back to looking at those "hundreds of teachers" laid off that Councilor Clancy was warning about earlier in the year.
