In this week's video journal, Dr. Burns explains further steps taken this week -- prompted by recent developments in the North Carolina General Assembly -- to prepare for the possibility of significantly reduced state funding.
Dr. Burns says that the possibilities of significant cuts in funding for teachers, teacher assistants and schools "are rapidly becoming probabilities." As a result, Dr. Burns announces extending the existing hiring freeze to include teacher assistants and teachers in grades six through twelve, as well as banning out-of-state travel and restricting all expenditures of county funding to essential goods and services only.
