SPS budget and finance Q and A
School finance can be a complicated subject, not often easy to squeeze into a sound bite or a 500-word news article. Yet, school finance, budget, revenues, etc. are going to be on the minds of many as we continue the process of developing the 2010-2011 budget over the coming weeks and months.

I am a prospective first year teacher, and I am curious to know what the budget cut means for someone who is in my situation.

Kendall,
The board has yet to make a decision regarding staffing levels for the 2010-2011 school year. That will be determined as part of the budget. The uncertainty of the budget situation has forced the district to wait on making decisions about new hires. I would encourage you to keep an eye on the Human Resources page of our website for news about when SPS will begin hiring new teachers. My intention is not to be vague; the answer is that we just don’t know exactly when or how many new teachers the district will be hiring this year.
