Fraudside: HHS SENIORS TO SAVE STAFF JOBS
On March 1st, 2013 the Sequester was put into action by Congress due to a lack of agreement on budgetary spending. The Sequester implements sweeping cuts to federal spending in the areas of education, security, law enforcement and public health in order to reduce the federal deficit by up to $1.5 trillion over the next ten years. At Hanover High School the senior class has been deliberating ways to offset the cuts that will affect the school’s staff. After talking to the Dean of Students (Mr. Smith) the senior class came to a unanimous decision. Mr. Berube, senior class advisor, said, “In order to reduce the risk of layoffs to Hanover High staff, the senior class is volunteering to furlough itself one day a week from now to the end of the school year (preferably Monday or Friday and they would be happy to do both if required)”. Liz Haas, Broadside senior editor, commented, “We think that it is a wonderful idea to keep our beloved staff secure in their jobs and we are sure that the faculty and staff will be fully in support of our decision”. The senior class eagerly awaits the approval of their proposal at the next Council meeting. They hope it goes into affect immediately.
