Building a Better Future: Logical consequences if the referendum fails, more info at upcoming meetings

Building a Better Future: Logical consequences if the referendum fails, more info at upcoming meetings

So what happens if the Building a Better Future referendum fails? $5 million in cuts would start in the 2023-24 school year, resulting in:

  • Insufficient safety and security resources
  • Increased class sizes
  • Fewer opportunities for individualized learning
  • Diminished academic support
  • Reduction in electives and opportunities at all levels  
  • Outdated and unreliable technology tools, systems and spaces
  • Fewer technology support staff for families and employees
  • Limited support services for scholars, including mental health

Without funding in the 2024-25 school year, meaning both levies are allowed to expire, $49 million in cuts would be needed. Results would be similar to those listed, but at higher levels or degrees. This would include cutting at least 450 staff members as well as safety/security resources and technology tools, systems and spaces.
