Spring Branch ISD parents plead with the Board of Trustees to save charter school programs during Monday night's budget cut meeting.
Spring Branch ISD parents packed the Board of Trustees meeting for at least the second week in a row Monday night as they considered the second round of budget cuts to address the district's $35 million deficit. Last week, the Board passed the first phase of resolutions to save about $2.9 million. It included adjusting the staffing ratios for high schools, increasing Pre-K tuition, and pausing rebuilds for four remaining elementary schools from the 2017 Bond Program.
"The district and trustees are in a really hard spot. But I felt like the decision was made very fast, and we don't have the reason for why they made that decision or why those schools are up for consideration," said Audrey Persch, a parent who spoke during public comment. During their workshop meeting Monday night, the Board discussed what could be next in phase two of budget cuts
