Please don’t get rid of the AVID program. It is awesome and very helpful to students. Please make it a priority. We are changing so many students lives so that they will be able to go to college. Isn’t that what we want to give them the skills and opportunities to better themselves.
Lee says
A good idea for the budget would be to get rid of the child care for the Young Parent Program. This would be a huge savings. Communities should not be burdened by providing childcare at a cost that is greater than what is spent on students who are enrolled in Granite District. These services should be cut first and no cuts should be made to the services for the Special Education Needs students. You cannot compare situations that students were born with to those of poor life choices by these young mothers.
Annette Bryner says
Please do not raise class size any more. Teachers already struggle to adequately meet the needs of far too many students in classes that are already too big. It becomes particularly difficult when children are young and need to be nurtured and loved as well as taught.
