Budget hearing - time change
The public hearing on the school budget will be held tomorrow, Wednesday, May 31 at City Hall. Please note that the time has been changed to 6:00 p.m. It will be broadcast live on Channel 10.
This looks like it will be a barebones budget. Every school has been asked to make difficult trade-offs just to absorb the loss in grant funding and the shortages in federal money. If the Senate funding proposal is watered down in the Conference Committee, then expect more and drastic cuts.
Again, please call your Representative to urge that the House members of the Conference Committee support the Senate proposal (both the dollar increase and the formula changes). See 5/26 post for contact information.
