As I said in my
letters directly to the board members, and in the ones I put in the Echo – we are
not alone in facing budget shortfalls! However, I spoke to the superintendents
of both Central and Starmont and both of them said that while Whole Grade
Sharing is an option for them, their boards have decided against it at this
point and instead decided to pursue other options. On the KCTN website, we find
the following news about how Central plans to handle the situation. Compare it
to our approach of shutting our high school down and condemning our school to
closure.

Central Board

The Central School Board Tuesday considered options to balance
the school district budget by June 30, 2015. Board members elected to go to
single section classrooms in grades 4-7 for the 2013-2014 school year and to
start multi-age classrooms for K-5 in the 2014-2015 school year.
Implementing those measures will reduce one middle school and
two elementary positions, saving approximately $200,000. There are 471 students
currently enrolled at the school.
