It could be worse...

With about thirty-plus RIFs at PHS being announced over Spring Break (by phone, just to make things that much more personal doncha know)...

With more than one hundred RIFs system-wide to be voted upon at Monday's PCSD School Board meeting...

With pending Board-Union negotiations needing to be wrapped up hopefully by the end of the school year...

With SB 5 having just become law on Thursday evening...

I'm expecting the attitude at PHS to be nothing but chipper for the rest of the year.

Could be worse, though. At least my district didn't put this video together...

It could be worse: Chicago public schools are cutting 20,000 jobs, and Detroit is closing half of all its schools, up to sixty kids in a classroom.

Still sucks in the meantime though, definitely been thinking about you guys.

Not only did they make the video, they paid an OUTSIDE company to make it. It's not like our system doesn't own two state of the art TV studios. :)

Katydid - Thanks for the kind thoughts. It's ugly all around in education right now. I'm guessing the non-profit world isn't exactly rolling in the dough either.

Ame - Seriously? I just assumed that it was made in-house.
