If questions one and two aren't approved by voters, $5 million would need to be cut 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- Outdated and unreliable technology tools, systems and spaces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, $49 million would need to be cut. Results would be similar to those listed above, but at higher levels. At least 450 staff members would be cut as well as safety/security resources and technology tools, systems and spaces.
These impacts wouldn’t allow schools to provide the educational experience families have asked for as outlined in the new strategic plan.
