Letter from Superintendent May 2013

May 22, 2013

Dear Parents/Guardians,

As the end of this school year rapidly approaches I thought it would be a good time to share information and thoughts with the community regarding this past school year and the future of the Southgate Community School District.

It has been an extremely challenging first year for me as the new Superintendent of this district. Increased financial difficulties led the district down the path of having to make some very difficult decisions in order to insure the future success of the district. With the hiring of our new Business Manager Theresa McLachlan in January we are confident that with her background as an auditor and CPA that the budget of the district will be accurate and be built and monitored on sound financial practices.

In February the Board approved the closure of three current buildings, Northpointe and Chormann elementary schools and Gerisch Middle School. When school begins on September 3 our building alignment will be as follows:

· K-5 - Shelters, Grogan, Fordline and Allen Elementary Schools

· 6-7-8 - Davidson Middle School

· 9-12 - Anderson High School

Part of this process also means that not only will the district operate fewer buildings; it also means a reduction in staff across the district. Southgate like most districts across the state have been experiencing a loss of students for the past several years, and with a loss of students comes a decline in revenue from the state as our finances are based on the number of students enrolled in the district. These factors along with no new revenue from the State dictate that we also have to adjust our expenses to meet our revenues which are required by state law.

This district will continue to make decisions to assure the success of the whole district now and into the future. I know that after being here for almost a year that this community wants and deserves a strong school system for its students, parents and staff. We can achieve this and more by working together to make Southgate Community Schools the best place for our students.

Have a great summer!

Bill Grusecki
Superintendent
