Kyle Adams reports in The Daily Mail a group of Cairo-Durham school district community members have formed an opposition movement against implementation of the so-called Princeton plan, uniting behind a pledge to vote down any budget that includes that plan. District technology teacher Tim Fisher said, in his opinion, the board has turned the May budget vote into a referendum on the proposal. He has so far collected signatures from 150 voters on a pledge to vote "no" on the budget if the plan is implemented. The plan adopted by the board designates one of the district's two elementary schools to house Kindergarten through second grade, the second will contain third through fifth. The elementary reconfiguration is projected to save the school more than $500,000. The district is projecting a $2.4 million deficit in 2013-14. Read the full story in The Daily Mail.
