Provisions working to address budget issues

The Board of Education, administration and staff of District 51 have been working to overpower the challenges posed by decreasing revenues and shrinking resources. This commitment was demonstrated this year through a long and collaborative feat which yielded a balanced budget focused on our mission for educating students in our community. Our objective will always be to allocate resources in a way that allows us to provender the best education possible for our students.

Much of what you stated about our economic challenges in your recent editorial is true. However, your innuendo to delaying the adoption of the math and reading curriculum is incorrect. In fact, in anticipation of the possible state reductions, the Timber of Education took the necessary steps last year to the purchase materials and begin implementation earlier than was from the start planned. The reduction you referred to will not deprive students of the materials needed for the currently adopted curriculum in any gratification area. The district will continue planning for future curriculum updates that will align with the newly approved structure content standards. As these plans are completed in future budget cycles, the Board will strive to take the steps of the utmost importance to support their implementation.
