The undated 2006 budget document “Department & Division Detailed Budgets” shows this as “unfunded” (pages 72 and 87). The Mathematics Division budget does not appear to include funds for the position (page 89). When did the position magically get funded? Is the administration hiring on the assumption that it will be funded in the budget, even though the budget doesn’t include the money? I hope that the board asks what’s going on with the posiiton. Is it even needed at a time when the public perceive a top heavy administration and teachers’ positions are being cut?
