With state cutbacks in K-12 funding looming, schools search for answers

When Rockville Schools superintendent Randy Kerkhoff contemplates cutbacks in the number of central office administrators, his choices are “me, myself and I.”

It’s not really an option in this small, rural district. “I’m the only one,” he said.

But with state cutbacks in K-12 funding looming, he is looking for other ways to cut the budget — and everything remains on the table, including possible reductions in force.

Gov. Mitch Daniels said last week he will cut state spending on public schools by at least $300 million over the next 18 months to ensure Indiana does not have a deficit when the budget ends in July 2011.

At Daniels’ request, the state’s Board of Education is developing a list of options on how schools can collectively make those cuts without laying off teachers, including the possibility of wage freezes.

The state board will approve a “Citizens Checklist” of costing-saving measures at its Jan. 8 meeting.

The options aren’t mandates, but they can be used by citizens to make sure schools have used other alternatives before teacher layoffs, said Cam Savage, state Department of Education spokesman.

Kerkhoff said the district has implemented several cost-cutting measures. It has limited subscriptions to publications and reimbursement on travel; implemented measures to reduce heating and cooling costs; eliminated overtime and some district cell phones; turned to a third-party natural gas transporter to lower natural gas costs; and reduced one bus route.

Kerkhoff can’t rule out a reduction in force, depending on how much state funding is cut. It would help if he could use transportation and building funds paid through property taxes to be transferred to classroom operating funds, he said.

Walter Hoke, superintendent of Southwest Sullivan School Corp., said the school district has a small cash balance and “nothing is off the table” as far as budget cuts, including a possible reduction in force of either teaching or nonteaching staff.

Several superintendents have heard the cuts will be about 3 percent, which for Southwest Sullivan is about $360,000 of a $12 million operating budget.

Over the past several years, the district has used its cash balance to “stay out of the red. It’s not nearly as strong as we’d like for it to be,” Hoke said.

Some of the suggestions from the state Board of Education, such as wage freezes, “are covered in collective bargaining contracts and must be negotiated,” he said.

The district is still working on a new teachers’ contract. “We didn’t settle last year,” Hoke said. Forgoing a pay increase would lessen the possibility of layoffs, but it’s not been discussed, he said. “We want to work with the teaching staff and be as equitable as possible with them.”

South Vermillion superintendent Dave Chapman doesn’t foresee the need to make personnel cuts this year.

“We’ve gone through RIFs the last few years,” he said.

He’s seen a preliminary list of possible cuts from the state Board of Education, and noted, “We’ve already begun to implement a number of those … We’re tightening our belts as far as we can.”

For example, the district is in a health insurance trust with a number of west-central Indiana school districts, which has helped rein in cost increases, he said.

The district is looking at its options and had an initial meeting Monday morning. “It’s a tough thing to talk about coming into Christmas break. The timing really stinks,” Chapman said.

Clay School Superintendent Dan Schroeder doesn’t anticipate any need to cut staff this year or next year.

He doesn’t want to comment on any possible cuts until he knows how much the district will lose in state revenue. “No matter what cuts are made, it will always affect either programs or personnel. Cuts of any fashion are difficult,” he said.

Superintendent Dan Tanoos was critical of the governor and state board making suggestions to school districts on how to cut their budgets.

“Not only are they going to take your money, but they’re going to tell you how to cut expenses,” Tanoos said. Local school districts know best where those cuts can and should be made, he said.

In Vigo County, “The last place we look [to make cuts] is the classroom teacher,” Tanoos said.

Fortunately, the school district is in good financial shape now and he doesn’t currently foresee any employee layoffs.

“We’ll have to continue to tighten our belts” to stay financially healthy, he said.

Routing Instructions $9.95 Manage your work flow and employee communication with this Routing Instructions form.

Network Routing $87.95 Network routing can be broadly categorized into Internet routing, PSTN routing, and telecommunication transport network routing. This book systematically considers these routing paradigms, as well as their interoperability. The authors discuss how algorithms, protocols, analysis, and operational deployment impact these approaches. A unique feature of the book is consideration of both macro-state and micro-state in routing; that is, how routing is accomplished at the level of networks and how routers or switches are designed to enable efficient routing. In reading this book, one will learn about 1) the evolution of network routing, 2) the role of IP and E.164 addressing in routing, 3) the impact on router and switching architectures and their design, 4) deployment of network routing protocols, 5) the role of traffic engineering in routing, and 6) lessons learned from implementation and operational experience. This book explores the strengths and weaknesses that should be considered during deployment of future routing schemes as well as actual implementation of these schemes. It allows the reader to understand how different routing strategies work and are employed and the connection between them. This is accomplished in part by the authors' use of numerous real-world examples to bring the material alive. . Bridges the gap between theory and practice in network routing, including the fine points of implementation and operational experience .

IP Routing $43.98 This concise guide offers the basic concepts of IP routing, free of hype and jargon. It begins with the simplest routing protocol, RIP, and then proceeds, in order of complexity, to IGRP, EIGRP, RIP2, OSPF, and finally to BGP. New concepts are presented one at a time in successive chapters. By the end, you will have mastered not only the fundamentals of all the major routing protocols, but also the underlying principles on which they are based. The basic information in "IP Routing" is designed to help you begin configuring protocols for Cisco routers. Although author Ravi Malhotra assumes that readers have a basic understanding of TCP/IP and are somewhat familiar with Cisco router configurations, he also assumes that you find some or all of these protocols difficult to work with. His book presents concepts simply, as nuts and bolts. Malhotra's use of plain language, analogy, and the recurring example of an imaginary network, which grows in complexity as the book progresses, will help you understand fundamental concepts behind each protocol. Once you master these concepts, you will benefit from the detailed information contained in Cisco manuals and web pages (such as bug lists, new features, design guides, etc). Depending on your skill level, you can either read "IP Routing" from cover to cover or use it as a reference for any of the protocols presented. The book describes administrative tools available to all the routing protocols, including those that block the advertisement of routing updates, and those that set up preferences for one routing protocol over another. Honed by years of teaching Data Communications at major universities and managing IPnetworks in production environments, Ravi Malhotra's knowledge of this subject makes IP Routing is the ideal primer to Internet routing protocols.

Adaptives Routing $68.51 Adaptives Routing ist ein Begriff, der in der Netzwerktechnik gebrauchlich ist. Er beschreibt die Fahigkeit eines Netzwerkes eine Route zum Beispiel um ein beschadigtes oder uberlastetes oder fehlendes Netzwerkelement zu finden. Das Gegenteil von adaptives Routing ist statisches Routing. In Systemen mit statischem Routing werden die Verbindungen fest eingestellt. Ein Ausfall oder eine Uberlastung eines Verbindungselemente kann in diesen Systemen nicht mehr kompensiert werden. Adaptives Routing wird in LANs hauptsachlich auf der Ebene der Router und Bridges implementiert. Oft auch um die Netzlast gleichmassiger zu verteilen, also auch unausgelastete Nebenstrecken in die Datenubertragung mit einzubeziehen Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Timpledon, Miriam T./ Marseken, Susan F.

Multipath Routing $71.7 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Multipath routing is the routing technique of leveraging multiple alternative paths through a network, which can yield a variety of benefits such as fault tolerance, increased bandwidth, or improved security. The multiple paths computed might be overlapped, edgedisjointed or nodedisjointed with each other. Extensive research has been done on multipath routing techniques, but multipath routing is not yet widely deployed in practice.CMR (Concurrent Multipath Routing) is often taken to mean simultaneous management and utilization of multiple available paths for the transmission of streams of data emanating from an application or multiple applications. In this form, each stream is assigned a separate path, uniquely to the extent supported by the number of paths available. If there are more streams than available paths, some streams will share paths. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Tennoe, Mariam T./ Henssonow, Susan F.

Fuzzy Routing $79.66 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Fuzzy routing is the application of fuzzy logic to routing protocols, particularly in the context of adhoc wireless networks and in networks supporting multiple quality of service classes. It is currently the subject of research. Fuzzy logic is a form of multivalued logic derived from fuzzy set theory to deal with reasoning that is approximate rather than precise. In contrast with crisp logic, where binary sets have binary logic, fuzzy logic variables may have a truth value that ranges between 0 and 1 and is not constrained to the two truth values of classic propositional logic. Furthermore, when linguistic variables are used, these degrees may be managed by specific functions. Fuzzy logic emerged as a consequence of the 1965 proposal of fuzzy set theory by Lotfi Zadeh. Though fuzzy logic has been applied to many fields, from control theory to artificial intelligence, it still remains controversial among most statisticians, who prefer Bayesian logic, and some control engineers, who prefer traditional twovalued logic.
