Which program must be maintained during budget cuts?

Torn. I said we need to keep the arts programs, but honestly all the programs are important. I concur with Brian who says that we should just increase class sizes slightly.

Also, let's scrutinize our other resources -- what is and is not working instructionally? Cut a percentage from a variety of programs?

Can we make better use of parent/community volunteers and find other sources of funding? After school programs could be paid for by parents on a sliding scale...

I teach in an independent charter school that does amazing things on a tiny budget. I don't know how...
