An interesting comment was made in the Olymian Editorial yesterday about WASL costing districts and the state millions more than expected. That raised an interesting question. Are there any district level WASL related expenses (particularly relating to math and science) that could be legally cut--especially given that those two tests are being phased out. Just a thought.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28236246.post-16871359176553685322008-04-30T20:39:00.000-07:002008-04-30T20:39:00.000-07:00Carla, I don't know of a Web-available copy, but I...Carla, I don't know of a Web-available copy, but I'll email Peter Rex about it. And you're right--there are certainly more options out there, some of which were considered this morning in a District / school admin meeting. This is just the start of what will probably be a quite involved process. We'll see more specific recommendations coming in the next few weeks.Jim Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09928624189124041120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28236246.post-83599500757619352002008-04-30T19:48:00.000-07:002008-04-30T19:48:00.000-07:00Jim--I was actually out searching for a copy of th...Jim--I was actually out searching for a copy of the OSD budget, but found your blog. Do you have a copy of the budget, or do you know how I can go about getting one?<BR/><BR/>Making cuts from the list the district provided seems like making a movie with only 4% of the script....there's quite a bit more to the plot.<BR/><BR/>Thanks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
