Budget cuts mean the three kindergarten teachers will have to share two aides instead of the usual three. So she was thrilled when School Administrators announced federal still lu stimulus funds would allow them to hire 180 teachers. When we heard we could hire more staff, we were very excited. That excitement turns to disappointment when the board of supervisors voted to halt the hiring plans. They say they were never consulted and only learned of the plan in media reports. The supervisor said their Research Revealed too much uncertainty. Especially because the money is only available for one year. We dont know how much money is coming. We dont know when it will come. Were not even 100 sure how it can be used. And it just seemed important to us that we not allow the staff to make these multimilliondollar spending decisions without getting clear direct from the board of supervisors and school boards. We published a press release so it wasnt like we were keeping it a secret. School administrators say they wanted to move quickly to thir 180 teachers and get them in place before the School Year Starts to reduce class sizes and minimize disruptions later. Suddenly, the hiring is off until perhaps next year. At this point we are not hiring any additional staff. We will go back through school board and the superintendent and develop an additional plan or idea with options on how we can address these funds.
