To The Editor,
The New Year is here and a new UCF School Board is also here. I sincerely hope that this Board will represent all the district’s taxpayers and not just the taxpaying parents of our district’s students.
The administration’s proposed preliminary budget of $83. 7 million was outrageous. The call to reduce this budget by $2.1 million to bring it into compliance with the Act One Index was even more outrageous. It is time for a true tax reduction by adopting other non-tax sources of income that exist and by cutting the district’s unnecessary expenses.
The Board has a tough job ahead, but one that can be achieved with hard work. Tax cuts must be implemented yearly over the next few years.
