This omnious message makes me feel like we are experiencing the calm before the storm!
I would like for Dr. Steinhauer to spell out exactly how much has been "saved" through the methods he claims. The District is always telling us that they saved this, and planned for that, but we never see real numbers, just claims of efficiency. "Show me the money"!

The money is in the 5% assessment windfall the District will collect with no millage increase. David Huston
