If you analyze the district's finances, it's quite apparent there's sufficient revenue for next year and that the cuts are not necessary.

For me personally it is a vindication. ... I said this $13 million was meant to scare voters into approving the referendum. There was no cash-flow crisis.

It's not just about the Voice having free speech. The administrators, not just the students, deserve free speech. We don't have that in our district.

I am completely out of my comfort zone making this commitment.

The numbers need to be $1 million less than they are. The board needs to take a stand against these spending levels.

We don't exactly have a planning horizon for what we need for the schools in 12 months. It's month by month.
