City Council agenda for Feb. 10: some attention being paid

A few items on the school side showing up on the City Council agenda for this Tuesday:

• Item 8b, coming out of Health and Human Services: Request the City Manager request the Worcester Public Schools Superintendent provide a report consisting of a breakdown, particularly in the identified targeted areas, identifying the transfer rate of children in and out of schools over a five year period and compare it to the rest of the city. These are the areas that have the greatest numbers of foreclosures in the city.
• Item 9h: Request City Manager request the incoming Worcester Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Boone meet in public session with City Council to discuss budget priorities during her next visit to Worcester. (Rushton) This gets us back to the transfer of power that the city has, with an interm superintendent setting a budget for a new superitendent who is somewhat involved already.
• Item 9j: Request City Manager report on the unexpended funds currently held in the Worcester Public Schools GMC Educational Access Account and whether those monies can be reverted to the City's Access Channel Account. (Lukes) This is in reference (I think) to the conversation on Thursday's School Committee about televised School Committee subcommittee meetings and how to pay for them.

AND: it looks like we have an election calendar up for a vote!
