[Vision2020] School Administration and Oversight (from the BLog)

[g. crabtree]

Perhaps as a demonstration of good faith you'd like to start the ball 
rolling by providing the same information about yourself? A complete 
breakdown of the last five years should be adequate to show just how 
noninvasive and reasonable you feel this sort of request is.

>>This is an interesting report.  It does show clearly MSD staff bloat and
>>the
>>overwhelming MSD reliance on additional funds from local bonds rather than
>>managing their budget as the other districts do.
>>
>>One interesting point that should be noted by Tom Hansen, who feels
>>strongly
>>that data should be up to date, is that this study used data from a 
>>variety
>>of years.  Much of the report used 2002 - 2005 data.  Tom should take note

>>information on MoscowLevy.com was invalid because it used 2005 data.  Will

>>Dave goes on to state:
>>
>>"Much of the report used 2002 - 2005 data"
>>
>>Well, Dave.  The report (see attached PDF file) is dated January 2004 and
>>concerns data accumulated during fiscal year 2002 (July 2001 - June 2002)
>>and fiscal year 2003 (July 2002 - June 2003).  The most recent data
>>available from this report is almost FOUR YEARS OLD.

>>Dave goes on to allude:
>>
>>"Tom take the Idaho legislature to task for not updating their studies

>>
>>I don't think so, Dave.  The fault does not lie with the state legislature
