On Monday April 11, the East Lansing School Board of Education exchanged a variety of topics from public schools going green to East Lansing High School's upcoming senior graduation. But, the topic that Superintendent Dr. David Chapin called a "priority" and one on everyone's mind was the budget deficit. Chapin announced in an earlier school board meeting that the projected deficit is $2.7 million.
This news follows the proposed cuts made by Governor Rick Snyder which has sparked rallies and protests from teachers, students, and parents around the state. Many would agree that money is important, but community members like Allyse Anderson wants school board members to remember the children.
“I would like for (the board) to retain focus on the fact that each student that comes through our school district has but one opportunity to move through our grades, K-12, and we owe every student an opportunity to optimize their experience,” Anderson said.
