Community Budget Awareness And Input Meeting

Monday, Dec. 12, at 5:30 p.m.
New Dimensions Ministries, Salisbury

All are invited to attend a Community Budget Awareness and Input Meeting at 5:30 p.m. Monday, Dec. 12, at New Dimensions Ministries at 1907 Jersey Road, Salisbury. The Wicomico school system has begun preparing a budget for the 2012-2013 school year. Based on current projections, the school system must begin to build a budget plan to account for a $5 million to $7 million shortfall due to a structural deficit. This will require the school system to make extensive budget cuts for the third straight year. Cost-cutting and cost-saving options in every area of the budget will be considered. This budget awareness and input meeting is designed to provide the community an early look at budget estimates for next year, a review of the cost-saving measures already taken, and details on how to provide input on the future of public education in Wicomico County.

The School system should already know what they have to do in order to comply with a balanced budget. To wish it were otherwise denies reality - the County and State just do not have the money.

If Frederickson cannot get the job done - then it is high time to get someone who can do the job. Bellyaching about is not being proactive about the situation.

Fredericksen is trying his best to fire 2 female employees in the BOE Central Office. He is the one that needs to be fired. He has issues with women.
