<P>Yes Jack,</P>
<P>And the Superintendent John Murdock said, "While people may see on the surface no change in the classroom, the support services are going to be reduced dramatically, stated at the bottom of the article. It also completely drained its reserves. This is how they dealt with budget cuts, not with declined enrollment as you suggest.</P></DIV>

<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>>School officials said stagnant state funding, an eight-year enrollment slide, a turbulent economy and surging costs for energy and employee benefits left the district no choice but to cut payroll by nearly 4 percent for the first time in at least 30 years.
