Jeffrey Weiss, of The Dallas Morning News Richardson blog, was in the audience at the Richardson ISD school board meeting Monday night. He was the only one. As he tells us, "Since not a single person who wasn't getting paid by RISD or the DMN attended Monday night's school board meeting, maybe y'all want to know what happened?"
Do I detect a bit of sarcasm or maybe criticism of Richardson residents for taking such little interest in their school system? The lack of attendance is probably a little bit because of lack of interest but a big bit because the school board has the district in good shape. No news is good news.
Weiss goes on to report that there'll be no change in the property tax rate; a budget that projects a surplus; a 2-3% raise for teachers, counselors, nurses and librarians; no big program cuts. All in all, steady as she goes. Not a small accomplishment given the perfect storm that's hit the economic seas we're all sailing in.
