One way the School Board is trying to ameliorate the (personnel cutback) problem is to find new revenue for our District.
That means using our capital funds that can't be used for salaries to upgrade existing structures so we can rent them out to make money.
The sports complex at Culver City High School and Robert Frost Auditorium both are on the slate for improvements — as well as installing solar, which should bring $1 million to $2 million over five years.
Now these projects need extensive oversight and Requests for Proposals (RFPs) to be done.
We used to have David el Fattal, Ali Delawalla and another person on staff in administration who did this. Now we only have Ali, and his plate is severely overloaded. One person cannot effectively manage three huge projects and write RFPs.
Nor can we cut what's already bare bones ,in my opinion.
To ask for administrative cuts really is shortsighted and a detriment to our District as we are already bare bones and overloaded.
