$65 million or more over eight years cut
$19 million last year, $25 million this year, $8 million next year in stimulus, keeping us on an even keel (or minimizing damage)
Foley: "let's state unequvically that none of these cuts make any sense...not a wise cut"
I pointed out that our budget this year is actually less than last year, despite our budget going up. I also pointed out that, as lousy as this year, next year is going to be worse: we're out of stimulus funds.
Boone: process "everything was a possiblity and everything was examined"
"obviously we couldn't just continue to look at the budget as taking off layers...alignment with what are the functions that we need to have happen"
"what are the non-negotiables...as the state has revised its accountability system"
"aligning resources in the way that makes the most sense as it relates to student achievement"
