#Haverhill funds as just a smidge over foundation (1.6% in FY14). So where does it come from? Everywhere else! #FBRC

Funding professional development short a million a year makes a difference to #Haverhill teachers, right? #FBRC pic.twitter.com/GIflyBkPCI

And #Haverhill is short all the way up, too: both district admin & school admin are badly under as well #FBRC pic.twitter.com/9xwcWlMjZu

And this is true EVERYWHERE! Either your district is funding over foundation to cover things, or it's coming out of other accounts. #FBRC

The foundation budget isn't adequate. #maleg, you have to fix this. #FBRC
