LOCAL NEWS: Teachers, Union Decry Budget Cuts Expected At Some Cleveland Schools
An agreement not to lay off teachers added to an anticipated drop in district enrollment has the Cleveland Metropolitan School District (CMSD) in a financial squeeze for next school year.
At a school board meeting Tuesday night, teachers and their union expressed their displeasure at cuts expected to be made to the budgets at many of the district’s schools.
Under Student-Based Budgeting (SBB), decisions are made at the building level rather than from the central administration offices. The system has funding for each building dependent on enrollment; the funding dollars follow the student.
When enrollment drops, the budget drops at the individual schools.
“When school budgets are shredded in this way, it is obviously not a matter of determining what a school needs but what a school must cut,” said Cleveland Teachers Union President David Quolke.
