LWSD Should Cut Expenditures During Remote Learning

It's only logical, the cost of teaching will (and should) be lower during remote learning and adjustments should be made.  A quick fix is to furlough non-essential workers like instructional assistants, librarians, medical assistants and secretaries. The money saved could be applied to food, the disabled, mental health care, computers...

In addition, nine Associate Directors were recently promoted to Directors. (annual pay $167,060.)  Three Directors were promoted to "Executive Directors" (annual pay $188,835.)  Do away with the promotions until remote learning ends.

IT administrators are invaluable in remote learning.  A new Assistant Superintendent ($196, 703) and her three Directors with their support team should carry the load.  

It would be interesting to learn who in the Administration works with the teaching software. The programs could be expensive.
