It's time we learn how the Wm. Floyd School Budget works.
It is great to see that the teachers are working towards saving jobs, but let's talk about the school budget. Wm. Floyd's school budget was voted on and passed but some of the school clubs that were allocated moneys have now been cut.
How is this allocated money going to be spent?
Will the school board decide?
Will “District Office” decide?
Will the people that voted on money for these "cut" clubs decide?
Will these clubs be reinstated next year to "break" the five years that they would have been together, which would have qualified them for additional spending?
Its really good to see that people are willing to give up a little to help the future of the kids.
