OPS is falling apart

In order to make it through these tough economic times, OPS is getting rid of 224 staff positions. Some OPS elementary classrooms will have as many as 30 students with one teacher. How is it that OPS is falling apart so drastically, while District 66 continues to afford numerous renovations and keep all of its teachers? It seems odd that one school can sit in its high glory and watch other schools struggle to keep it together.
