Ann Arbor Superintendent Jazz Parks says she will present her recommendations on how the district will address its $25 million deficit at next Wednesday’s School Board meeting.
Parks informed the board of her intentions during this week’s meeting, which featured two hours of public commentary and vociferous reactions from teachers and their supporters. The budget wasn’t originally on the agenda, but a narrow majority on the board made a last-minute addition.
Trustee Ernesto Querijero says he wants to see as much information as possible and make it all public before making any final decisions.
“If the information is in front of us and presented in a meeting, then we all have the information equally as does the public. And so, from there, that’s what the public commentary says—a way for us to come together.”
For now, next Wednesday’s 7 PM meeting is still scheduled to be held at the regular board meeting location on Earhart Road across the street from Domino's Farms.
