School funding crisis

Just about every day now the paper carries a story about a school district (or several) announcing its proposal to cope with the funding crisis that is hitting every single district in the state. Lebanon is working on this as well, as I have mentioned in several posts.

LCSC CFO Charles Tait has posted the handout he's been using at the meetings with staff, which has some very helpful information about the school funding picture, and the cuts that have already been made prior to the most recent news. He has also linked to a recording of one of the staff meetings in which both he and Dr. Taylor explained our situation and went through the handout.
At the staff meeting I attended at LHS, Mr. Tait and Dr. Taylor made a point of asking for staff input, either at the meeting, in a private e-mail, or anonymously.
