District proposing cuts for upcoming school year

The district is proposing certain cuts such as leaving several vacant positions unoccupied, as well as reducing professional development, cutting the freshman seminar class for the year and a 20% reduction to individual school site budgets, among others. The suggested cuts include the layoff of only one employee, a special education bus driver.

Letters: A father’s lament over Prank Day gone wrong
The father of a high school senior writes, "My child’s mother and I were promptly notified by HHS Principal Tait Danhausen that our child would not be allowed to walk for the graduation ceremony as a consequence of their actions. Walking for graduation is a privilege that signifies a major milestone in any child’s life. Needless to say, friends, family members and community members who know my child were devastated and mortified by the horrible choice my child made."
