No one is suggesting that a four-day school week is ideal. Faced with the reality of declining budgets, B-B-E schools implemented the four-day week in the summer of 2011 and as a result we have over 60 electives in the high school plus a strong fund balance of over $1 million.

That strong fund balance is necessary to protect our programs year to year when it's extremely difficult to know what the cash flow situation will be year to year.

Shame on Mark Dayton and his cronies in St. Paul for thinking they know better! YOU DO NOT! Don't you dare think you're smarter than the parents of B-B-E schools or our school board members or the school staff.
