Be Involved In the Process and Send a Message

Unaffordable school budgets are plaguing many school districts, not just Plainview. Budget meetings will start soon - the community needs to come out and watch the process. There is too much non-involvement and assumptions that it is all getting handled appropriately and then people get angry when they find out that a large salary increase was approved for the Supt of Business. The time to speak out is during budget time, not after things are a done deal. At least listen and know where the money is being proposed to be spent. More than a handful of community members or special interest groups need to participate. I don't think our community wants to vote down a budget since we know that will mostly hurt the kids. Being involved in the whole budget process, not just casting a vote, sends a strong message that we expect fiduciary responsibility and good decisions.
