District is resisting. · Teachers Local 743 is seeking help from the community as well. · Granite City does not operate with a line item budget. · No clear way to tie revenue streams to spending. · District’s internal audit refers to a lack of internal controls on spending. Unexplained budget irregularities the teachers have asked about since October. · District is cutting programs without a true understanding of cuts or savings.
