Sisters and Brothers:
Tonight, Superintendent Dade presented his 2020-2021 budget to the Board of Education in the midst of a 60 million dollar shortfall projected for next year. The District is also facing a 30 million dollar deficit in the current budget year, but is confident that the state will provide a means to fill this gap.
The results by bargaining unit are as follows:
If the budget passes as presented, the BENTE Union will not experience any cuts, and will instead gain 5 positions. There could be reductions in one area of BENTE and additions in another area of BENTE, but as of now, I have not been provided with specific information. I have a scheduled meeting with Labor Relations and Human Resources tomorrow morning to get more details.
