COMPOSTING IN THE CVES GARDEN
The students of CVES have begun composting fruit and vegetable peelings left over from their lunches. We applaud the efforts of the community to enrich the soil by composting food waste in our composter, as well. However, the school is only prepared to compost organic material at this time. . . fruit, vegetables and coffee grounds. Other materials added to the mixture could cause the entire compost mixture to become unusable. An orange collection bucket will be placed within the garden. If you would like to help us compost, please feel free to drop your items in the orange bucket, not in the composter itself. CV students will determine appropriate materials to add. Thank you for your support in this matter.

State releases survey detailing school budget cuts
Over the last two years, $17 billion in educational budget reductions have prompted nearly 400 school districts to cut back on maintenance, class materials and critical faculty, according to a state survey released last week. In May, 387 school districts, county offices of education and charter schools answered questions from the state Department of Education about how they have balanced their budgets in light of state budget cuts. State officials wanted to know which programs, if any, were cut or eliminated in the last two school years and if staff reductions, school closures, or reduced school years were occurring as the result of funding cuts. The results of the survey are as follows:
