Hinojosa's
salary
by
about
40%,
cut
the
upper
level
administration
by
20%,
and
cut
out
consultants.
Do
away
with
the
14

staff
development
that
will
save
money
in
paying
presentors
as
well
as
the

AM3 citizen abc@gmail.com How
about
cutting
DSTV.
I
think
the
School
Zone
program
is
great
if
you
have
money.
Cutting
the
department
and
the
program
will
have
zero
impact
on
classroom

AM4 citizen abc@gmail.com You
could
consolidate
some
of
the
technology
applications
that
have
redundant
functionality.
An
example
would
be:
grade
book
software,
student
assessment
software.
Revisit
the
dashboard
and
look
for
other
solutions
for
the
parent
portal.
Region
10
and

the
SAME
technologies

Eliminate
the
staff
development
for
CILT.
Other
districts
manage
leadership
without
special
staff
development
and
stipends
in
fact
most
of
them
do.
There
are
too
many
stipends
attached
to
salaries
in
this
district.The
one
exception
I
would
make
would
be
LPAC
chair
but
even
that
could
be
eliminated
with
less
paper
work
which
IS
possible.02/25/2011,

That

whole
lot.7 Javier
cano elviscano41@yahoo.com You
can
save
money
by
eliminating
Breakfast.Parents
should
be
responsible
for
feeding
their
children
before
going
to
school.
Also
eliminate
Pre
K,
that's
a
free
daycare!!
Parents
also
need
to
be
responsible
for
their
children's
care.
You
can
also
charge
a
school
fee.
If
parents
can
afford
a
fancy
and
expensive
phone,
beer
drinking,
etc,
they
should
also
contribute
to
their
children's
education.
If
it
works
in
the
Caribbean,
it
can
work
here
too!!
Make
these
people
more
responsible.02/25/2011,

The
department
is
EXPENSIVE.
Recruitment

Course

done

people
first
get

then
get

Certifying

outlived

many

AM13 Pedro
Zambranoplzambrano92@gmail.com Yes
i
believe
that
we
should
freeze
the
budget
on
all
non
educational
programs
to
try
to
keep
this
district's
mission
alive.
By
doing
this
we
may
not
have
to
fire
so
many
people.
As
a
student
i
believe
that
by
firing

people
who
teach

to

be
productive

AMa
district
will
FAIL.
I
also
think
that
we
should
also
cut
some
high
earning
employees
salary
by
25%
this
will
give
us
the
chance
to
promote
more
after
school
programs.
I
also
wish
to
have
more
space.14 Dennis rushmygift@yahoo.com Its
obvious
to
me,
the
huge
finacial
shortfall
is
mainly
due
to
the
burden
of
educating
the
children
of
Mexican
citizens.
The
grade
school
I
attended
is
98
percent
hispanic.
Half
of
the
video
channels
listed
on
the
DISD
site
are
in

will
they

be
