Valin Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Townhall: Kyle Olson 9/29/12 Sound financial management clearly wasn’t a concern to any party involved in the recent contract negotiations in Chicago Public Schools. (Snip) Moody’s wrote: “The negative outlook reflects the school district's budgeted depletion of reserves to fund ongoing operations in fiscal 2013; the moderate additional unbudgeted salary costs of labor contract negotiations, which have not yet been ratified by CTU; an estimated $1 billion budget deficit for fiscal 2014; and the sizable increase in pension contributions following a three-year relief period. Significant budget adjustments will be necessary, but the demonstrated power of collective bargaining suggests that future budget controls may be difficult for the district to implement.” (Snip) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
