So, Word is, the Buna Schools are Now Broke?Yes, Financial Problems?

 So, the word on the street is, that the board is now aware that in the future the Buna ISD is going to be running financial deficit. 

Right now however, the district, for right now is solvent....But, they cannot maintain the financial solvency.  

I went through this when I was at Magnolia. It wasn't pretty. And in the end, it wasn't the administration who suffered, but kids. 

Supposedly, the school will attempt to help solve this problem, by " Instead of replacing some of the vacant positions at the elementary, they are going to “absorb classes.” 

The last damn place a school needs to make larger classes is at the elementary level.  Junior high second, hell high school 3rd. While I loved smaller classes, I've had an Honors US History class with 45 kids including 4 foreign exchange students who I made cry the first week. ( All 4, all from Europe, who were told before they left, " American classes are easy." Damn asshole teaching US History.)

But, I digress. 

Look, so much of elementary is important for the rest of a kid's life, especially reading by 3rd grade. You can't read by then, you probably will have troubles the rest of your academic, if not rest of your life. Oh, you may think you get caught up, but not like you really should. 

My question is this....How many administrators does the district have now? Are there planned cuts there?

Again, what is more important? 

Paper shuffling? ( I need to write a blog on the number of school administrators Lamar is turning out. Lamar has more graduate students than undergrads.....Near all wanting to be administrators. If you're going into education, well, it used to be to teach school, not get away from kids to draw a bigger salary. JMO...)

Or the kids?
