Recession Vs the Impact that the School Educates
A petition to save Arlington County’s David M. Brown Planetarium is 800 signatures strong and there are more than 3, 000 fans on the related Facebook page, but the facility is still cut from the proposed schools budget.
"There are a couple of weeks before the public schools budget is final," said James Gartner, a member of the organization working to save the 40-year-old planetarium before the April 29 cutoff date.
Patrick K. Murphy, Arlington schools superintendent, said during remarks updating his budget figures last week that school officials are "in a dialogue" with planetarium supporters.
"I would encourage us to continue to keep this dialogue open, evaluate positions. . . and think about a window of time ranging anywhere from 12 to 18 months to see whether the community can raise enough money to keep the institution open." Murphy said.
The planetarium’s $230,000 operating budget is cut from the proposed fiscal 2011 budget because the facility is outdated and requires about $ 500,000 in upgrades. School officials have said the money is needed elsewhere in the system.
Gartner said a core group of supporters is becoming a nonprofit, but he fears that without the School Board’s support, the planetarium could still be closed by July.
"If we don’t get that other year, we believe any fundraising activities would be sabotaged if the planetarium is already closed," he said,
Last week, the School Board presented the Arlington County Board with a $439. 8 million budget, $2.3 million less than what Murphy proposed in February, primarily because of less state funding.
The new budget figures include several English as a second language specialists who were previously cut, thanks to updated student enrollment numbers and adjustments made by the state to the required retirement accounts for school employees.
"School-based substitutes, many transportation cuts and higher sports fees also were reinstate," Murphy said.
Students and teachers from the Langston and Arlington Mill continuing education programs spoke at the board’s meeting last week requesting no changes to the programs.
"The system has proposed to reduce the continuing education teachers’ salaries by 17 percent, add days to their school year and cut instructional time so the program is more consistent with high school schedules, said Betty E. Hobbs, assistant superintendent of personnel. The adjustments allowed all of the teachers to keep their jobs and put the program in a better position for future initiatives", she said.
What is school officials’ opinion on the Planetarium?
选项
A、They haven’t made the final decision to close it.
B、They are waiting for rich people to save it.
C、They are trying to collect money for it.
D、They are resolute in closing the facility.
答案
A
解析
事实细节题。由题干关键词school officials定位到第四段...think about a window oftime ranging anywhere from 12 to 18 months to see whether the community can raise enoughmoney to keep the institution open.可知,我会鼓励我们的人继续保持公开对话,评估形势,并用12至18个月的时间来看社区是否能够筹集到足够的钱以保障天文馆的正常运营,因此校方还没有最后决定关闭天文馆,A与原文意思相符,故为正确答案。B“他们在等富人出钱救天文馆”,文中只提到筹措资金但并未提rich people,故排除;C“他们试图筹钱救该馆”,文中只提到筹钱的对象是社区,而不是他们自己,故排除;D“他们坚决要关闭天文馆”,与原文矛盾。故排除。
