    Major Paper #2–Letter to the Editor<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

    As this is a relatively simply assignment, we will be working on the letter to the editor for one unit only.\u00a0 The paper will be due at the end of Unit 4.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

    Purpose:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    How many times have we heard someone complaining about something happening in our communities–but offering no solutions for the problem?\u00a0 This assignment is designed to\u00a0develop your problem-solving skills and engage you in a substantive conversation concerning a current local issue.\u00a0 This assignment will also encourage you to begin seriously considering your audience as a writer.\u00a0 When you are writing a letter such as this, you’ll want to consider who will be reading it, particularly in terms of what words, examples, facts, or appeals might best convince this particular group.<\/p>\n

    The Assignment:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    * Write a two to three page (double-spaced) letter to the editor, proposing a solution to a current local problem.\u00a0 List the newspaper to which you would be sending this to at the top of your paper.\u00a0 Begin the letter with:\u00a0 “Dear Editor,”\u00a0 Throughout the paper, be as specific as you possibly can in terms of:<\/p>\n

    1.) Defining\/describing the problem and who it affects<\/p>\n

    2.) Describing your solution<\/p>\n

    3.) Defending your solution as the best means of dealing with this problem<\/p>\n

    As you’re writing this letter, also do keep in mind your audience.<\/em><\/p>\n

    ***<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

    IMPORTANT NOTE: Papers on the following topics will\u00a0not<\/span>\u00a0be accepted:\u00a0<\/p>\n

    * abortion
    * capital punishment
    * euthanasia<\/p>\n

    I’ve already read more papers on these topics than anyone should in an entire lifetime, so I won’t read anymore. I encourage you to be more creative in selecting your topic.\u00a0 For the Letter to the Editor, you should also be choosing a topic that is far more specific and local than any of these broad controversial issues.<\/p>\n

    Sample Letter to the Editor<\/strong><\/p>\n

    To:\u00a0Junction City Daily Union<\/em><\/p>\n

    Dear Editor,<\/p>\n

    \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 There is a robbery in progress! The students of USD 475 are being robbed! The<\/p>\n

    suspects include the State Budget Cuts, but all evidence points to the Board of Education<\/p>\n

    and the administrators in this district. The money that should be used to benefit the<\/p>\n

    students is in the greedy hands of the administration instead.<\/p>\n

    \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Clearly,\u00a0Unified\u00a0School District\u00a0#475 is going to be affected by the\u00a0Kansas\u00a0State<\/p>\n

    Budget cuts, along with the rest of the districts in the state. I’m not sure about the other<\/p>\n

    districts, but USD 475 may have a simple solution: Reallocation of the budget and a new<\/p>\n

    set of administrators and school board members who value children’s education rather<\/p>\n

    than nepotism and administrative salaries.<\/p>\n

    \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Junction City’s school district isn’t known for its bright decisions regarding<\/p>\n

    funds. A few recent endeavors include the purchase of a brand-new Ford Expedition a<\/p>\n

    year or two ago, the move to a different\u00a0Administrative\u00a0Building\u00a0that happens to be in a<\/p>\n

    much more lavish location, and the decision to build an enclosed walkway for students<\/p>\n

    between the high school and the former\u00a0Administrative\u00a0Building, which is to be used for<\/p>\n

    more classrooms. These decisions, however foolish, are still not the main cause for a<\/p>\n

    budget problem. The administrative costs are to blame. When compared to districts of<\/p>\n

    similar size, USD 475 uses dramatically more money simply for administration. Even<\/p>\n

    disregarding the percentages, although USD 475 has a smaller budget than 305 (Salina)<\/p>\n

    and 383 (Manhattan), it allocates more money for administration (Salina\u00a0spends<\/p>\n

    $3,843,180 of their $68,267,944 budget;\u00a0Manhattan\u00a0$3,043,885 of their $47,298,811<\/p>\n

    budget, and\u00a0Junction City\u00a0$4,142,284 of their $45,743,233 budget). During the 2000-<\/p>\n

    2001 school year, USD 475 used 9 of the total budget for administrative costs, while<\/p>\n

    Manhattan\u00a0and\u00a0Salina\u00a0seemed to be able to get by with only 6 of their budget being<\/p>\n

    used for that reason. They were able to use 50-51 of the total budget for actual<\/p>\n

    instruction, while USD 475 was only able to allot 46. This is an outrageous allocation of<\/p>\n

    the budget, but the issue doesn’t end there. Both\u00a0Salina\u00a0and\u00a0Manhattan\u00a0school districts<\/p>\n

    are comparable in size to\u00a0Junction City’s, but it is very difficult to understand why<\/p>\n

    Manhattan\u00a0can get along with 3 central administrators,\u00a0Salina\u00a0has 1.2, and\u00a0Junction City<\/p>\n

    claims to require 7.5. It’s no wonder the administrative monetary “needs” are so high, I<\/p>\n

    won’t even touch on the issue of a single family dominating the entire district.<\/p>\n

    \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 It may appear that the 3 difference in money allotted for administration isn’t all<\/p>\n

    that significant. However, when it is put into monetary terms, if the administrative costs<\/p>\n

    were cut by 1\/3, which puts the percentage of the budget for administration at 6 like<\/p>\n

    Salina\u00a0and\u00a0Manhattan, there is an additional $1.4 million dollars that could be better<\/p>\n

    allocated. That is a large sum of money that would be better spent on children’s<\/p>\n

    education, not on the inflated salaries of a large number of administrators.<\/p>\n

    \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 As stated earlier, the school district’s budget problems, on the surface, seem to be<\/p>\n

    the result of budget cuts and lack of money. The true problem, however, is the<\/p>\n

    misallocation of money and the absurd number of administrators in this particular<\/p>\n

    district. By simply eliminating the unessential administrators (and in my opinion<\/p>\n

    replacing the chief administrators with people that have true devotion to the students<\/p>\n

    and the community) and reallocation of the budget, the deficiency of money won’t be<\/p>\n

    such a tough issue. Who knows, with the right people writing the budget, we might even<\/p>\n

    be able to allot at least 50 of the money for instruction, like everyone else does. Some \u00a0<\/p>\n

    people may argue that it isn’t the misallocation of the money that proves to be the<\/p>\n

    problem, that it is the lack of money altogether. I still believe that with the appropriate<\/p>\n

    cutbacks in specific areas, particularly administrative costs, the students will be better<\/p>\n

    off. The\u00a0School District\u00a0is supposed to be teaching the children; let’s put some money<\/p>\n

    towards that for a change. All of the information that has been presented can be found<\/p>\n

    on the internet on the Kansas State Department of Education webpage. Don’t take my<\/p>\n

    word for it; look at the statistics and budget information for yourself. I’m sure it will<\/p>\n

    shock and disturb you as much as it did me.<\/p>\n

    \u00a0<\/p>\n

    Sincerely,<\/p>\n

    \u00a0<\/p>\n
