Utah’s state income tax funds schools as well

Yep. Huge drop in income tax collection from all the layoffs. Property taxes

And tons of federal money, right?

About 5% of the alpine school district budget

Tough decision for sure, they'll be better for it in the long-run. There are in

This is going to get ugly, especially in blue states who already had shortages.

Really bad.

You must have done a lot of research in this area. It's like you have an

Red states are more reliant on sales taxes, in general. Those will fall hard.

California is facing massive pension shortfalls as they struggle to pay retired

Yeah, it's going to get ugly. They won't be alone, either.

How much are they slashing UDOTs budget?

wasn't there a fairly large rainy day fund at one point?

800 million from what I understand. The state budget is 20 billion

Can Utah cut anymore from Public Ed? Nothing left to cut. They run lean

Have you seen Corner Canyon High School?

That is from a bond the citizens approved to build the school not state budgets.

This is one of the largest elements of a state or county budget.

cut the administrators in half

5/22/20 10:53am

Half seems a bit much, but yes, make the wages more realistic.

Benfica1

5/22/20 11:04am

I was thinking more like cut their jobs out completely at half. Then hire more

jwf

5/22/20 11:14am

Which jobs would you cut?

O Gaucho

PLC coaches

Charles Darwin

5/22/20 11:18am

Those usually aren't admin. Coaches will typically receive a teacher's salary.

Cut a bunch of administrator wages.

I’m a teacher, and I do a lot these too, but I get paid significantly less
