Janesville board votes to hire teachers
ADVERTISEMENT
JANESVILLE -- The Janesville School Board voted Tuesday to hire three teachers to alleviate crowding in some of the elementary and middle school classrooms.
The board also learned that because of an accounting error, this year’s budget has a shortfall of $750,000. The board postponed discussion to give the administration time to come up with options for balancing the budget.

Someone tell us about the new report card. Why are they creating a new one and how will a report card improve learning?

This board has no sense of good education. They only concern they have is taxes and can't do a good job of that. They want to micro manage so they got a superintendent that would let them; and see the mess they are making. If they keep using the surplus fund to cover mistakes; what will Mr. Cullen do when they have a real emergency?

I find it interesting that less than a year ago they were talking about cutting jobs and closing at least one school. Now they're hiring. Interesting.

The district likes to find these little mistakes so everyone will feel sorry for them when it's time to negotiate with the custodians, secretaries, and teachers. And the windfalls show up when it's time to reward the administrators. The district could make up the million shortfall by not creating this new report card that will blow up right in their face. What a waste of time and money, but let's jump on the bandwagon and spend, spend, spend.

Maybe they added up the budget with Avontur-Calc.

someone else in the school system is probably living it up on tax payer money.
