IS THAT THE PIPER CALLING? TIME TO PAY UP!

Someone needs  to tell the Mayor she doesn't make the rules. Sure she claims to be giving the school a big increase after she has been shortchanging them for years, artificially INFLATING her current effort. And you know what, it still ain't enough!

“The schools are being treated very, very well with $126 million,” Kennedy said.

Another great example of how the leadership in this city views the education of our youth and the condition of our schools. Until the leaders of this city start making our schools a priority, they will never improve!!

  Lori D'Amico Good for those school committee members who stood their ground!! I hope everyone remembers the Mayor's cut in the school budget (because it "won't stand") when talks about her 50% raise come up again.

  Ron Mendes Well at least that is the tension that is supposed to happen... In the past it felt like the SC members and the Supt just fell in line behind the Mayor to underfund the schools... I'm glad to see SC members and the Supt at least advocating for the district...
