Summer's bustin' out all over...except here.
I know, I know, the rest of country is suffering. I'm not asking for more heat (although, that too, would be nice). Can it just be sunny so we can believe it is actually summer? It's sunny right now in my neck of the woods so I better get out and enjoy it.

In Superintendent's Office budget, despite moving at least four FTEs out to other CA depts (mostly Board), and cutting clerks, FTEs up net 2.4 and labor costs up $200K. Shows net decrease because of cut of $420K in "library materials" and $142K commercial printing. Again, CA IS at 5.98% but that's because Total budget is up nearly $11M. CA Comparison

Thanks for humoring me.
WV isn't confused, like me: WV thinks it's inain.
I'll look at the actual spreadsheet.
Coincidentally, I ran across the name Relay University for the first time this morning, while in the Office of Public Records for UW, reading college of Ed emails concerning TfA. One of the faculty shared the press release of the new on-line university with his colleagues, pointing out to them that most likely all their work creating the UW-TfA partnership will only last for a few years until TfA has all its corps members get their needs met with Relay.
I am sure StopTFA will get that email and more available publicly soon, early next week, we hope.
There are 4 "supervisors" in Nutrition. They all recieved healthy raises on June 1st, 2011 at (seemingly) the height of the "fiscal crisis" (see "shared sacrifice") at SSD.
"On site leads" in schools are not supervisors, but "Kitchen Managers" (union workers) and have not had a wage increase for several years. Thats the "way they roll" at SSD.
Incidently, although the Council of Great City Schools recommended a leaner, small administrative construct for the Nutrition department, it inflated size remains as workers are steadily cut. The Director has stated a desire for even more managers (with even fewer workers to "supervise").
Oh yes, and don't forget that "labor costs are too high" in the Nutrition department, according to administration.
Any wonder why? Because they use workers as "human shields" (like other departments use "the children") to justify the excesses of administration.
