Adherence to the Board’s goals in these difficult economic times requires long term solutions that
further the fiscal sustainability of the District. Uncertainty at the state level means all District
stakeholders must strive to remove uncertainties at the local level; expenditures must be controlled,
contained and reduced, including expenses related to negotiated agreements.
In accordance with the Board goals, the District will pursue changes in the following Articles and
related Appendices including, but not limited to, the specific items below:
II.
