The San Diego Unified School District is once again attempting to make deep cuts to its budget at the expense of vital programs. Some of the proposed cuts include arts and music, 6th grade camp (known as OCILE), learning centers for students with mild to moderate learning disabilities and traumatic brain injuries as well as a reorganization of a programs for gifted students. This is on top of slicing 8% off of educators pay.
Sound off. What do you think of these changes?
Do you think we should cut arts and music in order to keep athletics and nursing?
Is it fair that deeper cuts are being made in special education than in gifted student programs?
Who has more of a need? Students with disabilities or students that are already ahead of other students?
What do you think of the school board? Are they helping the process or hindering it with bureaucracy and sucking up funds which can be used elsewhere?
Give us your thoughts. Make sure to leave your comments.

I know that the budget is awful here in California. I know that I work for the second largest school district in California. It blows my mind how the people who are suffering the most are the students. While the Fat Cats on the SD Unified School Board play God and make life changing decisions, students are getting less and less education each day.
