$40 Million Budget Cut

Is it worth it?

By Jaume Martinez Calvo

         The Beaverton School District is having a budget cut like no other. The $40 million budget cut will be mostly on people says the school district super intendent.

"This cut would be like loosing all of stollers orange hall without loosing the students" says Ms.Clements the media lit teacher for stoller middle school. Nearly 400 students are in orange hall if they have no teachers then the rest of the classes would be around 50 people each.  In Mr.Wilsie's class there are already 40 students losing orange hall would not only make his job harder but it would make the schools job harder. "I'm already having 4 unpaid days now it might be a whole week" Ms.Clements states that the budget cut might not just fire people but not pay already hired people.

This janitor will most likely not be cleaning the gym next year.

These computers will probably not be here the
next year.

Specialty classes might be lost, schedules would change, core teachers will loose the ability to teach because of so many people in the class. The education level will drop drastically. Imagine a class with 45 social teenagers and one teacher t try to control all of them.

"Not only public but private schools will also be affected because the students family will not be willing to pay the tuition and the schools will be getting less money" Ms.Clements clearly says that the budget cuts will affect every school in the district in a negative way.

Janitors will also be lost and schools will be dirtier,  teachers will also have to clean up the classroom which was never in their job description.
