In the past six years, the school department of the City of Worcester:
- has cut $58.1 million
- has lost 18% of its staff
- has closed 8 schools and one program
- has had the supply budget per child cut from $130 to $35
If you have numbers to add to this (or, indeed, anything!), send them along and I'll add them.
Here are the schools that were closed:
