Classic Audioblogger of Yesteryear, yesterweek: School Beat: Michael Pierick Speaks; On Impact of Revenue Caps; On facing that cuts cannot be reborn

(This audioblogger dates from the famous 7am school board meeting about two weeks ago. It is relevent because it reflects the zero sum, or worse than zero sum game that the revenue caps present---and the necessity that our community confront the reality that any discussion of "additions" means "cuts equal to and more."

At the Evansville School Board meeting on Monday morn, March 21st at 7am, there was some discussion of the adverse impact of the prior cut of a custodial position of a cost of $34,282. There was some mention that one of the proposed positions to be hired might help in this regard.

Michael Pierick spoke to the issue of firmness in not holding out to anyone the "rebirth" of cut positions under the revenue formula, since this type of thinking would just result in additional cuts to match the additions and produce dissaray. The reality of the revenue caps is here.
