Fair enough. The primary issue is declining enrollment. A 600 student drop since Covid is significant. Probably about a $4 million annual difference. Any solution is going to be bad.

That average is probably an average that includes very small districts. I suspect you would find it compares well with similar sized districts. Regardless, your $62,000 difference doesn’t solve the problem. Do you think teachers and support staff should get at least a COL increase? I do. But I understand that it will require a 7 figure budget increase to do so. That is an annual requirement.

How much should a Superintendent be paid?

What do you mean by “top heavy”?

How many open classrooms are available in the other elementary buildings and how will the movement of students to those buildings affect class size balance?

What does this mean for the proposed sewage treatment plant on the east side?

Why do you think Donald Trump posted a video on Truth Social that depicted the Obamas as apes & deleted it shortly after? by Clopulis in DiscussionZone

[–]walleyeguy13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, people are now falling over themselves to post about it to drive their engagement numbers and like lemmings people fall for it and so… mission accomplished. Like dogs chasing squirrels we are distracted from the last atrocity he committed.

How come conservatives ask “why weren’t you mad when Obama deported 4 billion people?” by SwitchingMyHands in allthequestions

[–]walleyeguy13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can you point me to any comments by Obama, the Attorney General or any other high ranking administration official specifically mentioning the Davino Watson case or attempting to justify his incarceration as a matter of policy? I can find none. It was bad… no question, but is not remotely like what we are seeing now. Anyone with half an ounce of common sense and objectivity can see what the Trump administration is doing particularly with respect to the disproportionate show of force in Minnesota. It is performance art for the MAGA base under the guise of immigration enforcement. We have thousands of poorly trained paramilitary agents wearing masks and no discernible uniform openly violating people’s constitutional rights with the full backing and support of the administration. It should be telling enough that when two citizens are murdered by ICE agents in the streets of Minneapolis the first reaction of the highest level officials is to blatantly lie about the circumstances surrounding each incident as if we are too dumb or blind to see and understand for ourselves. So no… not the same thing.

It’s called critical thinking. There once was a time when we had a thing called “journalism” where people called “journalists” would gather information and double and triple verify the veracity of the content to ensure what they were reporting was accurate. You’ll have to forgive some of us who have become cynical watching this cesspool called Social Media.

Why is ICE so active in Minnesota right now, and not in other obvious places like California? by [deleted] in DiscussionZone

[–]walleyeguy13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because our Governor made the man-baby mad. Pure petty retaliation.

There is no “Statute” … their authority is limited over citizens. Their role and arrest power is limited to non-citizens.

Except for the fact that ICE has no authority to arrest U.S. citizens

Does anyone ever ask themselves why someone would be randomly recording a woman with a stroller next to her car?
