According to your 2010 District Accountability report, you list 10 schools. If this is incorrect, perhaps the district should correct their reporting with the TEA.Holly Hansenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14746324218254265886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6213661448969486772.post-20703528750185189532011-03-01T17:44:16.101-08:002011-03-01T17:44:16.101-08:00Holly, your numbers are incorrect.

As of Feb 2, 2011 the district had 5,446 students and I'm sure that has gone up since because our district has a high mobility rate. You failed to mention in your letter that the district is also cutting 25% of it's central admin staff, reducing employees outside of the classroom and ha repeatedly lowered camus budgets by 10% at a time. The closure of the school and the reduction of staff is absolutely the result of the legislatures cuts. If funding wasn't being cut, we would not need to close a campus and could handle staff (including central admin) through attrition. You should check your numbers before you start writing letters on things you admit you haven't reserched. Hutto's issues are not the same as nearby districts because of the exorbitant growth Hutto has experienced. It's important to know facts before you put things out as fact. You can reach me at Emily.Boswell@Hutto.txed.net if you have questions about our funding issues.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13869708056911898445noreply@blogger.com
