We are here tonight to discuss possible cuts to our staff and programs at

Beaverton Rural Schools.

What the district decides to do is yet to be seen due to the fact that the
state hasn't finalized their plans.

Therefore, we need your help in holding our legislators accountable for not
cutting education further and for moving K-12 education back to the top of
the state priority list. We need our governor and state legislators to take
action

The students of Beaverton Rural Schools do not have the luxury of waiting.
Unlike roads and bridges, we can't go back and fix them when the economy
improves. Our children of Beaverton Rural Schools get only one chance at
a quality EDUCATION!

drafts of 2011-12 budget reductions. Each new proposal brought
reductions to the BRS Budget.

The team looked at the following areas:

Budget

Personnel

Minimize impact on students.

Minimize impacts on staff (try to save jobs).
Position ourselves for next year and beyond (budget and student
achievement).
Move forward in a way that brings the district and community
closer together.
