March 13, 2007Carstensen opposes consolidation, seeks referendumCarol Carstensen circulated the e-mail below and gave permission to post it here:
I do not think there are other areas to cut that I could support, therefore, I believe it is time to talk about a referendum to maintain schools and programs that enrich our community. I am working on a proposal that for a referendum that would: 1) provide 15:1 class sizes at the 7 schools where SAGE is to be cut and the 3 schools that don't have SAGE; 2) retain the class sizes for specials 3) keep existing schools open 4) restore strings for 4th and 5th graders 5) a number of other items that I am still working on. This would come to about $6 M - which would cost about $100 in increased taxes on a $250,000 house. Honesty compels me to say that, as of this moment, I do not have support from other Board members on this.
