Getting financial accountability cold feet

The four largest school districts announced their intentions to seek some sort of financial independence from the Monterey County Office of Education last month, and at least one of them seems to be getting cold feed. For more information, read the story I wrote on the topic here.

Administrators and trustees with the Salinas Union High School District sounded a bit wary of what it would mean for them to become "fiscally accountable" at a meeting Tuesday night. Superintendent Tim Vanolli said it had not been clear to him the amount of work it would take to stop depending on the county to run Salinas high checking account. Trustee Lila Cann said it was "very scary" to think of the district being independent of the county.

It'll be interesting to see what route Monterey Peninsula Unified, Salinas City Elementary, and Alisal Union Elementary take. Stay tuned.
