Oh, yeah — the district also just launched its 2011-12 Dallas ISD Financial Outlook website, which I told you yesterday was on its way. The DISD’s calling it a “Districtwide Clearinghouse of Ideas and Information.” You’ll find pretty much everything the district’s made public so far — all the PowerPoints related to possible teacher layoffs, further info about the $10,000 buyout offer (“If approved by trustees, employees will need to personally deliver a signed S-54 form to the Human Resources department …”), all the Austin-based consultants’ presentations given to district officials … a real, um, clearinghouse.
As for those suggestions, says the district:
Your thoughts and ideas are important as the district examines its options to work through this important budgetary issue and process.
During the next few months, this site will be a clearinghouse for all matters related to the creation of the 2011-2012 budget. Let us know what information you would like included on this Clearinghouse, and send us your ideas and suggestions for budget cuts.
Will you step up to support Dallas Observer this year?
We’re aiming to raise $30,000 by December 31, so we can continue covering what matters most to you. If the Dallas Observer matters to you, please take action and contribute today, so when news happens, our reporters can be there.
I’m just gonna cut and paste the last two weeks’ worth of comments, 255 characters at a time.
