I am not a teacher. I do not work for the School Department. I am not related to someone who is a teacher or works for the School Department. It's the unpopular opinion, I know, but the Unions have stepped up numerous times the last 5 years. Go back and check on the concessions they made in the last 5 - 6 years to assist the School Committee in balancing the budget WITHOUT impacting programs or students. Both the WISE and the WTU have given back. It's time for the City to invest in the education the next generation. The Mayor and the City Council need to stop playing politics with our children's futures. They need to get over the fact that they can't dictate exactly how the School Committee chooses to utilize their funds. That's what the School Committee was elected to do, let them do it. Mayor and City Council, please stop acting like children and provide funds for our children. WTU and WISE, thank you for what you have done the last 5 years. You should not need to pick up this deficit. It's the City that needs to step up to the plate.
