Budget Belt-tightening continues… |
 |
 |
|
By Dr. Michael E. Zalar, Superintendent
Money is tight these days. I don’t need to remind you of that fact. Like you, the Oregon City School District is feeling the effects of an economy that appears to be uncertain for the foreseeable future. When resources are scarce – tough choices have to be made. Today, by reducing our costs and tightening our belts, we are a leaner more efficient organization.
The district has reduced operating costs to a level significantly below FY2006 expenditures (see chart). This is never an easy thing to do. The challenge is to achieve the delicate balance between operational efficiency and high standards for educational programming. By working together we have done this and are beginning to work towards long term fiscal stability.
