Last night I attended our PTA meeting. As a parent you know how this goes, PTA is to help supplement the school when it comes to funds.
School fundraisers, school pictures, school night activies are all runned by the PTA. While at the meeting the prinicpal was going over her budget she has to turn in on friday for next year. It wasn't looking so good. She needs to cut $400,000 from her budget. 95% of the budget is SALARY!
So what does that tell you???? That tells me that next year we will be losing teachers, our classes will be oversized. When you have an oversized class room how does a student learn properly?
Its funny how our govnerment tells us that the school shouldn't be affected when it comes to budget, that taxes that went up should work for the school, but yet here we are with more budget cuts.
On top of all that, the Florida Lottery is also suppose to give to schools, I mean when they advertise on the radio or TV that's one of there biggest thing they push. But do you want to know something, its a croack!! They only give to the A+ schools!! Tamarac Elementary is a A school, yet they don't see anything from the lotto since they don't have the + behind them. Tell me, how many schools have the +, with budget cuts its harder for the teachers to teach properly!!!
It kills me that we spin this wheel over and over again. These kids are our future!!! Why do we keep taking it away from them?
I wish I had an extra 400 grand sitting around, I really do!!! Something needs to be done!!! Just saying!
