To: Blaine County School Board, Clerk of the Board
Blaine County School Board: NOT ONE MORE non-teaching position on our payroll!
Over the last 20 years, while Blaine County public school enrollment has increased 17% and the number of principals have increased 25%, SCHOOL ADMINISTRATIVE POSITIONS HAVE RISEN 300%. Please begin our essential belt-tightening at the top. Vote no on the proposal to add two MORE administrative positions to our district.
Why is this important?
In 1995 there were 2852 students in our district, 8 principals and 11 administrators. In 2015 we have 3331 students, 10 principals and 44 administrators. In a district that spends three times as much per student as the Idaho average, we are told that in two years our district will not be solvent. If there’s a hope in heaven that Blaine County citizens will agree to fund a new levy, we need to see seriously responsible cost-cutting efforts underway at BCSD immediately. And, among other things, that certainly means NO NEW ADMINISTRATIVE POSITIONS, starting now.
