Who made and paid for the buttons and signs for the supporters? They had the LPS logo on them! Was the PTSA involved in that? If so, it is another fraudulent use of our PTA money!

Just like yours. I havn't seen the buttons/signs close enought to tell if the LPS logo was used, but a prior post said it was. Did LPS allow the use of thier logo? Is it open for use by all?

If this is stopped what cuts will be made for the next school year? The BOE could continue school closing with K-6 plan that was proposed to them. The savings was just about the same with lower over all costs!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Plus, they wouldn't have a lot of P. O. people!!!!!!! There's your answer.

I see it as many teachers jobs will be cut at the cost of our childrens education. If this plan is "in the best interest of the children", as the BOE has stated repeatedly, then why is saving teaching jobs the priority here? Sorry, cmic, this is not meant to offend you, please don't take it that way, but I think this is a vaild question.

I would imagine they would have to do what they would need to do as far as cuts for next year. It's their choice in this matter isn't. They surely didn't hear what the majority of the community had to say did they? I personally approached Dr. Liepa as an individual to plead him to talk to the CFLF and work something out. I guess he is gambling that he's going to win. I guess we will find out tomorrow won't we.

It's not a question of the teaching jobs...those can be saved by virtue of reducing administrative overhead and negotiating contracts/services more wisely. We could save more teachers and facilities through sound management and efficiency gains rather than the LI.

I don't know about your PTA, but ours requires a membership vote before spending any money. Every PTA has Bylaws that state a vote must take place for things outside of the originally approved budget. To insinuate that PTA is missuing funds for materials to support the LI is ridiculous.

What kind of help would the LPS have to hire to help these teachers input all this data. A teacher only has so many hours in a day to get everything done. With that being said, we cut admin. but hire more tech support. I don't understand.
