Throughout my whole school carreer i have been hearing about school budget problems. I think that adding a bit more to taxes is not a bad thing as long as it is used ONLY on the problem. I understand that budget cuts are neccesary in hard times like these, but it just seems unfair that so many teachers must be fired and are already being paid such low wages. I think that fundraising could also be an excellent way to help out with the budget cut problem. - Kent S. I think this problem has been going on for too long and needs to be resolved soon.

Whoever is cutting our funding is taking it away from important things, and putting it into some things we probably don't need. For example, our classes are crammed with students, some up to 40 students (which I think is not good for our learning), while spending a lot more on the construction of a Culinary Arts building that seems to be taking forever to complete. I predict that the majority of us will never even use that building. So instead of spending so much money on the Culinary Arts building, I think we should hire more teachers so the average class size would be smaller. Put in some other classes like woodshop (without building another building), so that our learning environment will be better. - Eli R. I think that our budget cuts are horrible.
