With unanimous support, they’ve passed a resolution demanding the schools reverse course, citing a troubling pattern of secrecy: no representatives showed up to budget meetings, and key cuts — including summer camps, field trips, and now daycare — are being made without transparency. Students like sophomore Cassidy Gormley are bearing the brunt, lamenting denied farm trips and lost fundraising opportunities, all while schools refuse to cover basic costs like bus fare. Commissioners are urging students to speak up and hold the district accountable, arguing that if students are willing to fundraise, they deserve a seat at the table — not just program elimination.
