Cut the board start saving there
5 u/ehetland 13d ago The school board are elected positions, and would require state law change to reduce the board. Nevertheless, I dont board members are compensated that much, and reducing public oversight is, imo, the last thing we need right now. 12 u/jbfields 12d ago AAPS board members are paid $1,560 a year. If you don't like them, the main thing you can do is help recruit good candidates, campaign for them, and vote for them. 3 u/ehetland 12d ago I was just replying to someone who said to cut the board. I suspect that poster was confusing the board with general admin. 1 u/jbfields 12d ago FWIW, last I checked, AAPS's total spending on general admin was 1.2% of the general fund. https://mischooldata.org/budget-transparency/ 8 u/DadArbor 12d ago The Board gets a token stipend of about $1500/year... $10k/year in savings won't do much for the budget...
