"Solomon said the funds would come from the $5M paving line item approved as part of the FY2019 budget."
This sets a bad precedent, where the council set aside money for road repairs, only for acting Mayor Solomon to take some of it out again for the school budget. He basically just used the $5 million asphalt budget [up from $1 million in FY18] as a slush fund to keep the money away from the school department for a few weeks.
Instead of playing these games with school funding, the council could have just approved another $1.75 million in the beginning and avoided the needless drama of whether or not they would sufficiently fund the school department.
