text: The ASD is its own little Ivory Tower and one would think that with a 700 million dollar budget, declining student enrollment and underutilized schools management one would think their financial house would be in order.
  Oddly, considering there is absolutely no inflation, the district agreed to a one year salary/benefit and bonus increase for teachers which added to the 11.5 million dollar shortfall. If the BSA increase fails I think the amount goes up to 16.5 million.
  I'd like to see the roofs repaired too but this is the least of their worries and it is primarily due to a lack of leadership.
