“We’re looking to cutting personnel because it’s the only place left where we can make cuts and, unfortunately, we’re not alone,” Board President Jim Dombek said. “We see other businesses where employees are just being told to do more with less, and, unfortunately, that seems to be the mentality of our state government when it comes to education.
“It’s a sad thing. It almost embarrasses you to be a [resident] of a state that has a mentality like that.”
