Page A-48 — Shelton-Mason County Journal Thursday, Oct. 21, 2021 Levy: ‘Our kids need to have access to same resources’ continued from page A-1 For voters without kids, Rosenbach noted that children are the future of the community and that we need to support them. “The schools are the center of the community and our children are the future of the community and if we have a well-educated populous, then that is good for the health of our community long term,” Rosenbach said. “That means our kids need to have access to the same resources that kids across the state do.” The bond and levy total equates to $2.40 per $1,000 assessed property value, which is the second lowest total CHRISTMAS VILLAGE will not be having door—to-door trick or treating this year.

According to Rosenbach, the decision redefined what basic education is and it doesn’t pay for all the staff needed to run a district, using some old staffing formulas to calculate how many employees are needed for basic education. “Those staffing formulas would say that in a district our size, with six-plus buildings and all the fields that we have, that we only need three custodians,” Rosenbach said. “That’s just not practicable. We have to staff at price. the level that provides for the safety and security of our staff and our students and our buildings and that provides us to have learning environments that are effective for students and so we have to staff beyond what the state pays for.” There is a plan for if the levy doesn’t pass. Rosenbach said last time, the district cut almost $2 million. “We will have to take deep cuts again if that’s the case,” Rosenbach said. “We might have to look at things like what activities we can offer for students. We might have to look at transportation and whether we can do that. Although we get separate funding for transportation it doesn’t obligation. cover the full cost of transportation in a district like ours where the streets ,don’t all go on a grid like they do in a city. So we might have to tighten up some of those resources. There’s a lot that we’ve looked at that if we do that process again, we do that in open process within the district with our employees and then with the board and making sure that everybody knows what’s going on as we make those decisions.” Rosenbach said she’s hopeful that the levy will pass Nov. 2. “Given the state of our country right now, you’ve got to be a little bit nervous at least, but we’re hopeful,” Rosenbach said.
