Worcester Public Schools budget is UP

You will find the Worcester Public Schools budget here.
(caution: that is the whole thing, so it's a biggie)
The executive summary is here.
You can also find it by going to the Worcester Public Schools webpage, clicking on Departments, then Chief Financial and Operations Officer, then FY11 budget documents. I assume it'll be moved to the front page next week.

Comments, as you read, welcome! I just got my copy this afternoon, and I haven't looked through it yet.

"building-based budget detail" starts on page 201 in the pdf, alot of detail about salaries.

not sure how much of the "expenses" are actual expenses versus the assignment of expenses by central office

Yes, the building based budgets are great. Also, the charts at the beginning of administration are very helpful.
I think it's a bit of both; things like transportation would certainly be assigned (through division). Others, like sped, really depend on who is in your building.

why no water and sewer bills? Is there any incentive to conserve?

T, it's figured out as part of the city's piece of the foundation budget. I was thinking of asking for all of those in-kind contributions spelled out...helpful?
