1) Are there some ways that we could better spend the
money we have?
2) What things will remain underfunded no matter how
we move around the existing funds?
I'd like to add two more questions:
How much of the budget is really "discretionary" - areas the school
board/administration can actually control v. legal mandates?
Of the legal mandates, are there more cost-effective ways to accomplish them?
By the way, has anyone noticed the conversation in the House to transfer
sports and arts from school districts to local government? I haven't looked
into this but wonder about the impacts, especially when LGA's strapped as well.

transferred from school districts to local governments.
