Richard,

The Council has adequately fund schools in compliance with state standards, How is it that the School Committee would only benefit? I see it as everyone benefits especially our kids.....Now where in the budget would you cut? Cutting a 100k Administration position does very little nor does laying off teachers help the learning environment for our kids. How would you address safety concerns with our Schools? We can't with less funds....

Don't take it as me being rude or anything but when do we say enough? Looks at neighboring communities that started rebuilding and renovating schools years ago and still continue today. All the test scores are improved with improved learning conditions. All of the issues we face now were predicted by Former School Committee member Friel and School Committee/Councilman Cushman 15-20 years ago but we kicked the can down the road. We the voters approved a bond for School repairs I believe in 2006 but the prior administration refused to let the School Committee use it for repairs.

Maybe I'm biased now because I'm blessed to have a beautiful little girl but the future of our State is dependent on our kids and the tools we give them.
