With a sizable majority, the vote to ratify the contract has been successful; however, there is a clear message that this does not mean educators are satisfied with the loss of days and other cuts necessary to balance the budget. The message is clear that members feel the negotiations team did a good job given the situation, but there is a recognition and dissatisfaction with the fact that Davis County schools will be different in the fall with larger class sizes, less time for students with counselors, administrators carrying a heavier load, and support staff reduced in schools and at the district.
The school board will continue to examine the budget throughout the summer. It is still possible that some cuts can be restored if revenue increase from local, state or federal efforts. The school board will consider changes to the calendar proposed by the District Calendaring Committee at their meeting today at 5:30. Those proposed changes can be seen at the following link:
