School district braces for state cuts
Administrators asked to explore ways to make school district more efficient
Published Tuesday, January 13, 2009
Administrators at Austin Public Schools have been given directive to seek ways to reduce programs and staff in anticipation of deep budget cuts at the state level.
The school board approved on Monday a resolution asking building administrators to “explore methods” — from eliminating positions to reassigning duties — to make the district “more efficient,” said Bruce Anderson, interim superintendent.
The cost-saving recommendations must be presented at the April 13 board meeting.

I suggest you read the comments after the other article regarding the Supt's salary. Supt's salary is not the place to shoot low, when you find a qualified candidate with experience. Rochester paid their new one 20% more than their former one. The salary offered Krenz is average in the Big 9.

Rochester has 5A schools (bigger). Austin is a 4A school with a smaller enrollment.
Compare Apples to Apples. Northfield, Waseca, Albert Lea.....then get back to me. Rochester would be the highend of the spectrum
