Murrieta School Board With More Cuts
Written by admin on February 5, 2010
The governing board and top administrators in the Murrieta school district will have their stipends and salaries cut 7.25 percent starting in July —- the same cut they are asking employees to agree to —- it was announced Thursday.
The Murrieta Valley Unified School District board voted unanimously to cut its own stipend as well as the salary and annuity contribution of Superintendent Stan Scheer and the salary and car allowances for the four assistant superintendents and the deputy superintendent.
The moves, effective July 1, are expected to save the district $75,245.50 in the 2010-11 budget year.
Cuts come as the district tries to ease an anticipated $14 million budget shortfall for the next school year.
It’s the second consecutive year the schools have faced large deficits. The current budget was buoyed by federal stimulus funds and by digging deep into reserves.
To me, this is such a shame. If there is anything…any profession that should be making more money in this world, it’s teachers and education. Such a shame.
