With 85 percent of the Stow-Munroe Falls City School District's cash going toward salaries and benefits, Board Member Fred Bonacci wanted to know how that money was being handled and what kind of savings happened in the last year. He found out that the district saved $1.26 million on certified personnel. Weeks ago, Bonacci told the public he would investigate and put together a presentation about his findings.  During his presentation at the February meeting, Bonacci broke down his findings: (2010-11) (2011-12)  Additional costs: Bonacci's findings show that after adding in all the new certified personnel costs, the district saved $1.26 million from the general fund.

Mike Wright, How is being on the opposing side of this issue looking "down on the teachers and who they endorse"? I did the math for my situation. I considered the math for my future plans. So, if you can tell me what these are then maybe I would credit your evaluation of my motivations. If you can not tell me what my reasons are then you are "otherising" from a basis of zero facts.   more ›

Board of Elections Approves Bonacci for Ballot

Voters will see Fred Bonacci's name on the Nov. 8 ballot for Stow-Munroe Falls School Board following an unanimous decision from the Summit County Board of Elections today.

Fred Bonacci's name will appear next to seven other candidates this November for Stow-Munroe Falls School Board.  Bonacci's appeal to be a candidate in the Nov. 8 election was unanimously accepted by the Summit County Board of Elections today.
