Budget Ideas Anyone?

It should be no secret that Minooka CCSD 201 currently has a multi-million dollar operating deficit and that these deficits are projected to continue for the foreseeable future.  So, the Finance Committee held a meeting on October 18, 2012 to talk about a deficit reduction resolution (the next meeting will be December 5th at 6pm).  Click here to review the proposed deficit reduction resolution.  The proposed deficit reduction resolution purports to save $902,000.  Note, however, that over half of this number ($500,000) comes not from new savings but rather from money that has already been saved in the education fund.

If anyone has any deficit reduction ideas, please send them (either by comment or email).  While coming up with ideas, it may be instructive to go through the budget line by line to come up with savings.  Click here for the detail of the 2013 budget.
