3. Board Discussion

District Finances

Minutes

Mr. Richards stated that decisive action may not be pleasant, but the can has been kicked down the road and the district is at the time for targeted reductions.  He said the board needs to continue conversations in choosing either an earned income tax or an income tax.

Mr. Cook said the time has come to start "what if" scenarios.  We've already explored various options, now there are cuts thrown into the mix.  He asked the board which scenarios they want to see modeled.

Mr. Williams asked if we should be having a discussion about facilities if we are talking about ensuring we can keep the doors open.  Dr. McBride pointed out there is a cost to be considered in operating and repairing old buildings.

Mr. Cook stated the district will need to either have new funding or implement cuts.  Mr. Perez verified the board would be able to screen any new positions proposed.
