OPINION — Fiscal responsibility is among a school board’s most important duties. It must be applied consistently.
At its Sept. 9 meeting, the Chandler Unified Governing Board approved school resource officers for Payne Junior High and Perry High School. Board President Patti Serrano cast the lone dissenting vote, as she had on an August agreement covering nine Chandler middle and high schools.
Serrano cited budget cuts and the possibility that grant funding might not cover future overtime, raises or other variables.
