Observation

The board approved $28 million dollars in benefits tonight in under 5 minutes of discussion with only a single question from Dean. (There was an overview from the person from the administration -- very helpful, but certainly not expected to be comprehensive.)

It took 6 weeks, hours and hours of speeches, meetings, organizing etc........ to cut $16 million.

They approved nearly double that in expenditures in under 5 minutes tonight!!!!!

There has to be discussions going on via email or something. This just blows me away. I must be missing something.

It was part of employee contracts which were in negotiations for weeks too. This was the final formalization. All the give and take was done with appropriate district administration and employee reps. Not really a "quick" decision as it seemed tonight.
