In this morning's Strib, an editorial counts the number of teachers that have been/will be cut... numbering in the hundreds... then counts the support staff cuts. Are administrator cuts included in the support staff category? Does anyone know how many administrators, and assistant administrators, and assistant to the assistant administrators have been laid off?
Also... just before Mayor Belton lost the election, I read that her husband had been hired by Carol Johnson as a part time attorney for the Mpls school system. I recall he was to be paid $70,000 for his part time work... filling a position that had been vacant for 5 years (all from memory... my stats might be off). Is he still in that position? Isn't that two teacher positions right there? While I strongly support my tax money going to TEACH our children, and my tax money going to FEED and HOUSE the poor and infirm, it is horrific that enormous beaurocracies are created to "service" these programs. Then when cuts come, the beaurocracy protects itself first, and the "clients" lastly. Wendy Introwitz Pareene South Minneapolis TEMPORARY REMINDER: 1. Don't feed the troll! Ignore obvious flame-bait. 2. If you don't like what's being discussed here, don't complain - change the subject (Mpls-specific, of course.) ________________________________ Minneapolis Issues Forum - A City-focused Civic Discussion - Mn E-Democracy Post messages to: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Subscribe, Unsubscribe, Digest, and more: http://e-democracy.org/mpls
