The hits to education just keep on coming. Already $26 million in the hole for next year, Seattle Public Schools must come up with another $6 million in cuts, according to a Seattle P-I.com article. This comes after $34 million was cut last year and $31 million this year. All on an annual budget that comes in around $430 million.
In response to this, the school district is having a community meeting tonight and you are invited. It’s from 6:30-8:30 p.m. at Roosevelt High School, 1410 NE 66th St. The district will give an overview of how schools are funded and strategies to close the funding gap for next year. They also want to know what programs are most important to you and what they should protect.
