USD 501 announces cuts to summer school, field trips in response to funding loss


More cuts. Are they from the right places? Interesting after reading Dickstone's JoCo article.

If you have to make cuts in the middle of a school year, that's probably the best way to do it. They probably should try to cut a few administrative positions for the next year. Probably won't happen, though.

Not sure what thread this goes in, but figured this might be a good spot:
(A+++++ source)

From someone that works for the State. She basically travels around the world with Brownback to convince companies to move to Kansas so they can get all these PEAK benefits. She said that every time Brownback has to lie during a meeting (probably pretty often), he sits in the back of the plane on the way home and reads the Bible the entire time.

That's right, when he knowingly lies to someone's face he binge-reads the Bible to clear his conscience.

The ironic thing is that nearly everyone that works in this department was laid off in the past year. The Job creating department is hemorrhaging jobs.

I've never understood this. If you've already read the book once, why keep reading it over and over again? Do people expect the words to change or something?

I've got several family members that teach in Olathe.  They looked at district salaries and went through 10 million dollars before they started seeing classroom teachers.  That seems crazy

I have never understood the act of reading the bible or saying a prayer as some form of punishment.  Shouldn't that be some sort of celebration in religion?  Religion is weird.

It's much more than that.  You just had to go that far before the teachers that have 30 years start showing up

Pretty crazy to think that the most money the state has ever spent on education is considered the least money ever spent on education. #science

I went on a diet today. Was pretty easy. 

Instead of measuring myself in lbs, I measured in kg today.

BOOM! 

I actually need to put some kgs back on to hit my goal weight.

Yes that's very cute. Meanwhile, we're spending more on public education than ever. But I guess they still need "more."

My tip to the waitress would be "serve my food and don't be a dumbass."
I've said it before and I'll say it again, K-State fans could have beheaded the entire KU team at midcourt, and K-State fans would be celebrating it this morning.  They are the ISIS of Big 12 fanbases.

I mean, even if you want to make this statement, take the tip and then say "hey this would be better if you gave it to the schools" or whatever
