Their savings. Our burden

The Austin Chronicle released an article regarding Austin's Independent School District and its plans to save a few dollars. Most often, schools look at extracurricular activities they can cut or reduce when it is unnecessary and a expense to the district. The Superintendent Meria Carstarphen, however has looked into the staff to reduce its expense. Just how many staff members has she looked into? "Superintendent Meria Carstarphen will ask the trustees to cut 1,1017 jobs." That is a lot of jobless people who will soon roam the streets. Why is it important? Sure, it is projected to save the district $53.6 million dollars. However, that is now 1,1017 people added to the unemployment rate. That is now 1,1017 checks being distributed by the Texas Workforce that are funded by us, the taxpayer. This is not good for Austin. This is it not good for Texas. This is not good for those who will be jobless. The superintendent needs to find an alternative to cutting cost
