It is time for LPS's experiment with the EARLY CHILDHOOD CENTER to close. It is pretty obvious that the overcrowding problem is going to be reduced at all of the kids community schools but an even bigger problem will be the fiscal insolvency of the public school system,
Since by law they are not only going to be losing CHAPTER 70 for the new KIPP kids, they are going to be adding some transportation costs. In light of all that, how do they plan to keep the COMMERCIAL STREET luxury?
With the likelihood of the CHARTER CAP being lifted soon, this is only the first of the FINANCIAL FREE-FOR-ALLS.
This city and the schools are in real trouble! If city and school officials do not start making better decisions and get a handle on the budgets, there will be devastating results. Aside from the lack of money, the mismanagement of funding and wasteful spending are significant problems. Imagine what an extensive, detailed audit of every city department would reveal? We already know the outcome of a recent one, which the city still hasn't recovered from. The city council just made another costly decision by ignoring legal warnings and advice in the foreclosure vote. The city will undoubtedly face yet another lawsuit, which will potentially cost the city (taxpayers) hundreds of thousands of dollars. Do we all remember the Mayor cutting all city budgets by about 2% this year and warning that fire and police layoffs were imminent? She also made the superintendent cut her budget by millions. What do we think will happen in the upcoming years with all the additional costs facing the city?
