Meanwhile, the school board must still look for more ways to cut costs. It is good that art and music are still part of the curriculum as they are activities that one can participate in for the rest of one's life. Opinions have been voiced that sports should be cut to some degree as it involves the participation of only a select few and will not be participated in after high school. This is already happening as Lexington is dropping football next year. Other areas to look at are outsourcing the transportation system and meal preparation as other districts do. Also, administrative costs must be reviewed. All of these areas must be considered before making cuts to the core curriculum.
It is unfortunate that we live in the most corrupt state in the country and have to suffer because of past mismanagement. Our school system and other government entities will have to learn to live with less until the State can find a way to increase revenue or reduce pork and corruption.
The school board has a tough road ahead in deciding how to achieve a balanced budget and how to resolve the building issues. Both of these items are hot buttons and it is important that citizens voice their opinion to the board members so they can make decisions based on community preference.
