Budget Cuts Impact HHS


By D. Seabury


The State Budget has a huge impact on HHS, even though many students don’t think so. “The reductions required a setting of priorities which impacted people I respected, admire, and have known for a long time. Overall, these cuts created anxiety and tough times for an extraordinary faculty.” says Mr. Chamberlin former administrator of HHS and current Superintendent of Schools.


A concern about the State Budget Cut has everyone on high alert. Cuts to HHS staff “could result in larger classes, fewer options, and fewer programs,” states Mr. Chamberlin. Not only does this cut affect the teachers, but it also affects students looking towards their future. Students who want more artsy futures are limited to the classes they can take.


HHS had to cut down how many classes each teacher could have. Limiting the students options on not only classes, but also times they could take them. Teachers that aren’t teaching required classes, such as English, Science, Math, or Social Studies weren’t as limited as those who teach Wood, Music, or Art classes.


Uncertainty hits HHS teachers who once felt secure. Teachers are fearful of what will come when voters, vote on the budget in March. Everyone is asking what will happen to HHS in the near future.
