Trying to save an independent living program

Post Reply New Topic

So last week the supervisor of this program i'm with gave me and my classmates some pretty grim news (which doesn't affect us somewhat b/c most of us are aging out of the program but one girl is staying behind) turns out the Eugene 4j school district thinks we're "Too expensive" to keep open ( I'm sorry but that's not right! ) That's not even a valid reason! We're not expensive at all! We get a fair amount of money but not that much. We (the students) budget for our own things if desired. Because it's part of the skills we need to learn for an independent life outside of the school enviroment. This program gives the student more freedom and independence than the regular "school-schedule" counterpart (what we call "the day program") this program is called the J.E.D.I/Overnight program and it is used as a seperate learning enviroment for students such as myself who are more advanced in their independence level and are continuing working on certain goals (such as using the bus by themselves without the assistance of staff)
From what the supervisor has told me (she was told in a meeting with other staff so other staff know as well) this is not supposed to happen until next school year so why not save this program now? I aready sent an email to the current Superintendant about this issue. And my church knows about this and has offered to contact the program and possibly donate some funds (but the church elders must have a meeting before anything can be official)
I just think this is totally wrong. Education isn't supposed to be about how much money is made, it's about preparing a young person for the future. Aside from that, someone's going to lose their job and a lot of students will be disappointed if these school district people don't listen to me.

No money is being made by the school district- money is being lost and they are trying to figure out what to cut so that they lose the least money. Then, that money saved from whatever they cut needs to go into whatever will help the greatest number of students. The cost of running a special school or the cost of teachers and supplies for a program at a regular school that serves relatively few students is cost prohibitive in light of the budget cuts that everyone is making.
