Um, I understand the importance of, you know, getting this done, but with all of our, um, staff and teachers and making sure that we have funding.
003Um, that's the reason why, you know, I voted no. Um, just because I don't want to lay off lots of teachers and we have lots of people working at the administration building. Um, but I do understand the need to do the work. Um, so I will vote yes. But I would like um Superintendent um Otley to kind of you know look through um our departments here and really see you know where we can cut back because if the pay of one person here is a pay of two teachers or JTC's, you know, I don't want anyone to lose their job. God forbids. I don't want anyone to lose their jobs. And I do understand the cuts and things like that, but um our children, that's why we're here is for the kids. And we have
004to make sure that we're serving them so that our classrooms are not overcrowded because when they're overcrowded, nobody can really learn. You know, your attention span goes elsewhere. So, I just want you to if you could um just take the time to kind of look at every position and see where we can cut, where people can be merged, you know, that type of thing. So, thank you.
