Speaking of the loss of school dollars…The Boston School Department is sponsoring a series of budget hearings to discuss the latest school cutbacks. Frankly, we find it hypocritical, to say the least, that the School Department would cut local school budgets at the same time it has supported the expansion of charter schools, which drain in excess of $100 million per year from the same schools.
Upcoming school budget hearings will be an opportunity to address these issues. Visit the BPS website to see a schedule of upcoming hearings at the bottom of the page.
