families are choosing other education settings than our public schools - [There are] families that might have chosen homeschool like every other district in America. We have the families that didn't come back after COVID.

Ding, ding, ding. And that ESSER funding was only during Covid so why do they still want or need it?

more than 80% of the district's budget goes to salaries

Ah, I think we might see the deficit problem.

"This year, due to continued projections of declining enrollment, coupled with legislative inaction on public school financing, the sunsetting of ESSER funds, fewer federal dollars, and a projected budget deficit, it has become necessary for us to make additional reductions both in budgets and staff,"

More good news.

There’s a need for only so many assistant textbook coordinators, but they’ll most likely be retained at the expense of classroom instructors.

Maybe they should think about keeping the teachers.

Although the unions and the bureaucrats might just keep “staff.”

After all, the students don’t have seniority.

There are several reasons for the layoffs, one of which stems from declining enrollment, according to FWISD.

You would think that is the primary reason, but it is not.

“We want them to know that we have endless opportunities that no one around here can compete with. Free transportation, programs of choice, after school care, free breakfast and lunch for every single child,” said Ramsey”

Nothing is free, what an a$$ wipe.

Schools all over are having budget crunches, but solely due to falling enrollment. When the Feds gave out Covid money to schools, the schools made those funds part of their regular budgets. That money is now gone, and schools are acting like it is a surprise.
