A tentative look at what Schau started

At tonight's BOE meeting, BOE members got a look at a tentative budget for the 2010-2011 school year, which is said to show a deficit of more than $7 million.

In past years, District 150 provided the media with a full copy of the budget and held an informational meeting the Friday before the budget was presented to the BOE, with the caveat not to make it public before presentation to the BOE. This year, the media only received a skeletal outline of the budget. Do you think it has anything to do with trust?

No; I think it has to do with timing and readiness. They received what we received; the budget folks were xeroxing the ISBE form during the meeting; they were still warm when we got them after the meeting was over.
