With the signing of the $26 billion jobs bill (AKA union payback) yesterday, Cave Creek Unified is likely to receive around an extra $1 million to add to its M&O. $10 billion of this money is a passthrough directly to schools to 'save' teacher's jobs, not that any of our classroom teachers in our district were actually let go because of the budget. By our calculations the district will now have an extra million or so. We can't wait to hear how they decide to spend it. Last time the district received unbudgeted amounts (ADK state funds), they gave across the board raises.

I haven't educated myself to the bill. Are there any strings attached.
ReplyDeleteDidn't CCUSD take money from the last stimulus bill. If so, you are incorrect in saying that the last time they took money was ADK money in 2005. Plus, I do not believe that you or SN have ever firmly proved that the money was used for raises so it is merely your opinion. I believe that the money from the last stimulus had to be used for new programs.
Anybody know if they got money from last stimulus and how it was used?
