Dallas ISD Opens Website to Deal With Historic Budget Cuts

Dallas ISD Opens Website to Deal With Historic Budget Cuts
The website is Dallas Friends of Public Education or DFPE.

DISD is facing historic budget cuts, perhaps as much as $260 million, or 20% of the district’s entire budget. Consistent with our mission, DFPE will be advocating strongly to protect students from these deep cuts. That means finding ways to cut administrative overhead rather than classroom teachers and supplies. We want to identify every administrative budget that should be cut – everything from the outright wasteful to the "nice but something we can live without" – before classroom budgets are cut. To do this, we need your help. We need the help of the public, parents, taxpayers and the many veteran DISD teachers and staff who know which administrative functions are necessary and which are not.
