Ron;
Hard to compare Manhatten to KCK school district. We have five big high schools here in one district and god only knows how many primary and middle schools. We are stretched so thin that we can barely maintain the pitiful buildings we have. A five or six million dollar cut will be devastating. There isnt too much to be had in trying to affix some type of blame at the local level. The kind of cuts they are talking about take us way past the point of being able to cut corners to make it up. They are talking here about closing high schools and cutting everything but the bare essentials to keep the doors open.
