Comments from the members: Clancy

Five points from Councilor Clancy:

  • reforms did not come easy on the city side this year. Send the schools a list
  • stabilization funds. Do the schools have $ set aside? (note from the mayor-elect sitting next to me: schools can't save money from year to year)
  • charter schools would cost $5 million if the 2 new ones get approved
  • reform efforts: what are they on the school side?
  • numbers are unsustainable for the future

Clancy says the message is that they want the city to live within their budget

  1. AU contraire! There are several grants which can carry over 15% of their total amounts. Howver, since the city budget has been so low for the past several years, all grant "carry over" funds have been diminished. At one point, Title I used to carry over about 1.5 million. This is no longer the case.
