What's Happening in the HCSD

Lynn Sloneker has two new posts on her blog, Unmuffled: An education blog. The first, "Basic numbers," summarizes the bleak sitution of the Hudson City School District budget. It outlines the cuts that will be required to eliminate a $577,788 shortfall and explains how none of these cuts would be necessary if the Hudson Teachers' Association would make some concessions. The second, "Board says 'no' to superintendent search," reports on a vote made by the Board of Education in the third hour of their meeting on Monday--after an executive session that lasted for half an hour--and predicts who the next HCSD superintendent might be.
