What board members said
I can assure you that we were facing budgetary issues. That is also around the time that we did away with our transportation program, sold all our buses and contracted with a private company to bus our students around just to try to save money on the maintenance of buses.Alma SarmientoBoard member · National Elementary School District boardWatch the full meeting from 2:28:55
This may or may not be a dumb idea, but I was just thinking, what if we were to advertise for school nurses like in the next week or so, see what kind of interest it generates. If none, then okay, nothing lost.Alma SarmientoBoard member · National Elementary School District boardWatch the full meeting from 2:13:22
