FY11 budget working session: Boone

(that's what the superintendent called it)

This is a joint presentation from Boone, Mulqueen, and Allen; Boone begins.

FY11 budget session
dismisses the idea of any discussion of which mandates we have to fulfill (our responsibilities) (in other words, we just have to do them all)
what priorities do the School Committee have?
"the big bucket items"
grants are part of this conversation, too
"everything is a possibility when we look at a zero based budget"
city council wants to know the numbers; numbers are shifting..."going to be wise for us to hold off on a specific presentation until" the governor's budget in January
"ready us for that direction"
"have to think about where we put our resources"
This session is more of a dialogue than a presentation

Your notes state: FY11 budget session
dismisses the idea of which mandates we have to fulfill (our responsibilities)

This is a nice way to ensure a federal audit. If funds are not used correctly, the City will have to pay back all dollars from non-federal funds.

That's a bad summary from me. I'll fix it.
