Dear Lancaser School Board:

Aren’t you in part to blame for a district having no financial reserve? Yes, Superintendent Larry Lewis prepares the budget each year, but you’re the one who votes on it. That includes voting this year on a budget with no salary itemization. It’s bad enough not to have teacher salaries itemized, but given that LISD is well above the state average in percentage of income spent on administration, you are very much signing off on a blank check without those salaries being itemized.
