What if Lakota’s levy fails

Lakota’s School Board of Education will meet Monday in a special meeting to hear a presentation from Superintendent Mike Taylor about what would happen in the levy in November does not pass.

Taylor is expected to announce his plans to cut the budget to accommodate the expected $10 million shortfall in 2012.

Here is an announcement from the district’s meeting last night.

You will notice my story today talks about a recall of teachers and support staff members. Board members have said these are positions that had to be filled to keep the district running. They aren’t the same positions that were cut at the end of the last school year. Due to the way the two unions operate, employees with the least seniority were cut. They remained; however, on a list to be recalled once other positions opened up. So, as Lakota fills those positions, it still has kept many positions unfilled in order to save money. Here is an example of how this works: You have to have a chemistry teacher. So, if a chemistry teacher leaves, then Lakota would either have to recall a teacher certified to teach that subject, or hire someone who is qualified. Just wanted to clarify in response to a reader comment.
