Additional Steps To Be Taken
  • Utilize the stimulus money to offset the general
    fund costs in Delton Kellogg.
  • Survey the staff and community to determine
    priorities.
  • Schedule additional visits with legislators.
  • Thank you Stephanie Stevens, Dee DeFields, Gail
    Hill, and Audrey Gillig for traveling to Lansing
    to meet personally with our legislators!
  • Continue to reduce expenditures, find revenue
    sources, and redesign our district.
  • Pass a Board Resolution in Support of Funding For
    Education (November 16, 2009).

21
Sonow what? DKS need your help!
  • Contact legislators and the Governor to tell them
    to
  • raise the 100million necessary to balance to
    School Aid budget you passed.
  • Use the remaining stimulus money to fill the
    shortfall.
  • Fix the structural school funding problem
    (revenues and reform) and provide students with
    the level of education that can only come with a
    stable and predictable school funding source.

22
Sonow what? (Continued)
  • Comments for legislators continued
  • We expect Lansing to take action that will find a
    long range systemic solution to the state budget
    problems.
  • The DKS have made the tough decisions needed to
    address the declining revenues in our school
    district, but it can not sustain the level of
    funding decreases being proposed.
  • Imposing a reduction of nearly 3.4 of our total
    budget one third of the way into the fiscal year
    is unacceptable.
  • The economic viability of our community at-large
    is dependent on the existence of the school
    district. The School District is the hub of the
    community.

23
Sonow what? (Continued)
  • Complete the survey to indicate your priorities
    and provide the Board with suggestions for future
    reductions.
  • Sign the SOS! Petition to Save Our Students, Save
    Our Schools and Save Our State
  • Take home a copy of the videos presented today to
    share with neighbors and others who were not able
    to attend.

    Band Boosters, etc.)

    students enjoy (Odyssey of the Mind, Battle of
    the Books, Chess Club, Spelling Bee, Band
    Competitions, Athletics, Mackinac Island Trip,
    International Travel Opportunities, etc.)
  • Show others how we are outperforming our
    neighboring districts and many districts in
    Michigan (MME/ACT scores).
  • Show others how we take care of our students and
    embrace the concept that it takes a village to
    raise a child.
  • Donate time, talents, or funding to special
    projects the 21st century classroom project,
    technology enhancements, etc.
