I'm not a math whiz but how will adding a total of one hour per week make up
for a lost day?
Additionally what about those poor underpaid custodians and cafeteria workers
who have the burden of working a day less for even less pay?

I'm sure there's more to it than meets the eye here but I hate to see the
budget balanced on the backs of the people lowest on the totem pole.
On the other hand I hate to see teachers losing jobs as well-

I wish you all the best of luck in a very tough arena, it would seem that all
of the choices are less than optimum.

Hope I haven't opened a hornet's nest here-

Grace and Peace
