Regarding your story about the contract for bussing students, I
think that your math is off. My calculations, based on an estimated
185 school days per year, multiplied by the $800 per day difference
in the two proposals equals $148,000 per year or a whopping
$740,000 over a five-year contract. My guess is that $148,000 per
year would go a long way towards paying for Vice Principals at
Rancho!

In today’s lesson, we learned that in order to save critical jobs we don’t need to raise taxes or eliminate band and the arts. We just need to negotiate better contracts with vendors.
