LORI LOOKS AT THE NET (IT WON'T GO AWAY)

http://www.itemlive.com/news/city-and-state-near-net-result/

This is the article from January about the net school spending issue.  It does not give specifics of any agreement, nor does it state it's a done deal.  The article also mentions the Mayor's plea that she believes Lynn is at an unfair disadvantage when it comes to meeting net school spending requirements.  She always makes it a point to say things like, "Lynn and other cities" face this same issue and this may be true.  Perhaps Lynn and some other cities do face the challenges the Mayor mentioned and these may cause a burden for the city.  I don't know what other cities the Mayor is referring too, but Lynn appears to be the only city facing such a financial crisis and to my knowledge, is the only city forced to work out an arrangement with the state to resolve the crisis.  The DESE has reported the FY15 net school spending compliance reports for 312 of 322 districts in the state and none of them failed to meet at least 95% of their net school spending requirement.  In fact, 95% of the districts reported exceeded their net school spending requirement.  Lynn, as we know, is one of the districts not reported yet, but I believe Lynn was expected to only meet something like 92% of its FY15 requirement.  Why is that?
