Editor, The Times:
Re: The story in the April 2 issue of the Times (‘SD73 ordered to cut $1.6 million’):
I feel the Kamloops-Thompson school district should seriously look at ways of cutting its expenditures.
Fees for riding school buses should be brought in, along with parking fees and reduced spending in top management and teacher salaries.
A teacher who achieves a master’s degree in education should not automatically receive a salary increase.
Any organization, if not reined in, will increase in size, as the Kamloops-Thompson school district seems to have done.
The B.C. government should limit what school districts can spend, as it has done.
