Board of Education Budget

We the teachers and administrators are using the usual union tool 'fear' here in Cheshire. In an email from Dodd staff as part of their regular communications.

In other news, I want to remind people of the Board of Education Budget Meetings at 7:30 pm on Tuesday and Thursday this week.  They are designed specifically for public feedback.  Tuesday’s meeting is at Dodd.  Thursday’s meeting is at Town Hall.  Dodd would lose four teachers, face music reductions, lose athletics (or face significant increases in participation fees), and numerous supports if funding remains consistent with previous years.  Your feedback is valued in the face of such challenging decisions.

CTCurmudgeon has worked in union and open shops.  The tactic they use are pretty effective, scare the heck out of folks. What they do not consider is the budget.

Time to talk to town council members. A small bump in class size won't hurt anyone. Good forbid we lessen their pensions. More on that later.
