Re: ASB Funded Positions
ASB Funded Positions $210,209.00
CUSD is relying on one-time money to fund on-going positions in the District. Having to "raise" these funds every year is another tax on CUSD taxpayers.
Right now the wage paid is $10 per hour- what happens to taxpayers when the minimum wage goes up to $15 per hour?
