MORE THAN $26 MILLION IN SCHOOL BOARD CUTS DETAILED IN SUPERINTENDENT'S MEMO



October 2, 2002

More than $26 million in cuts to Miami-Dade's school bureaucracy since last fall were detailed in a Sept. 30 report to School Board members by Superintendent Merrett R. Stierheim.

The cuts to non-school site administrative functions were made under the Board's guidance since Stierheim's hiring last Oct. 24th and will result in recurring savings annually.

Coupled with $24 million in reductions approved by the Board last Sept. 12, the cuts bring total reductions to approximately $50 million in little over a year.
