The Chapel Hill-Carrboro Board of Education meets tonight at 5:30 (closed session at the Chapel Hill Town Hall) to discuss, among other things, areas for budget reduction.
Though I dislike making judgements on topics with which I'm not familiar, I must admit that my first glance through the list of reductions leaves me with mixed feelings. I believe them off-base with certain items, such as reductions in professional development, curriculum development stipends, and new-teacher signing bonuses. (see PDF below-pages 5 and 8) However, I believe them on-target in other reduction avenues, including looking at the K12 Insight online surveys and reducing the Superintendent's meeting refreshments.
