Competing for Funds
|
The $64,000 question! All this translates into money, money that is
being cut from our budgets at an alarming rate. I know our TAPESTRIES
program is in the current budget proposal, as our value has been proven
in our district, BUT it remains to be seen if the school board will
pass it. One of the ways we are negotiating to preserve this vision is
by integrating our initiative with the “competing initiatives” that are
vying for the same shrinking funds. As our state moves toward
standards-based education, we feel we have a foot in the door with our
professional development program. By presenting this to our school
board curriculum committee along with our progress in improving student
learning has given us a slight edge in keeping us in the budget for the
upcoming year.
