Well apparently, this idea died on the table. I have heard nothing since the initial flurry of interest. Given the fact that we are in the height of budget season, this would be the time to take action if any action were planned.

I have received responses from several of the officials I contacted regarding the school funding idea. As you can see, there are some valid questions that need to be answered. However, as the emails below show, there is interest in this concept.

Here are the responses so far, for your reading pleasure.

Steve,

Thanks for the good information. The Superintendent, Blane McCann, is checking with the village about this. He also has spoke with the business manager of the School District.

Dear Steve:

Thank you for bringing this idea to me. I promise I will check it oit with our interim business manager and see if this could save any money.

I do not know much about the amounts we are talking about. How much would the school system need and for what term? As you may know, we have been having meetings with a consultant to help us set policy with regard to the fund balance and other issues.

Thanks. Margaret
