NVPS - Beyond a Shared Sacrifice

This morning Governor Synder's budget proposal was released and the impact on public education is dramatic. The Governor is calling for an approximate 4% reduction to the K-12 budget. This translates to $470 less per student. The impact on Northview would be $1,621,970 less in our budget for the 2011/12 school year. This figure does not include the expected increases in the amount we must pay for increases in retirement costs and health care increases. These additions would bring the reduction closer to $1,000 per pupil or approximately $3.4 million.
