So keep those drops coming!
Tuesday night's City Council meeting brought two more speakers on the school budget: Nancy M. Pare, who brought her grandson Justin, and David LeBoeuf, the senior class president at South High.
Ms. Pare referenced Justin, who enters kindergarten in August, as she spoke. Her central question: "Teachers, administrators, and staff are doing their utmost for Justin's education. Are you doing all you can to make his education equal to those in other communities?...Where do the priorities of the city and the council lie?"
Mr. LeBoeuf gave a great demonstration of his Worcester public schools education, referencing the Renaissance, Brown v. the Board of Education, and Johnson's Great Society program. (Way to go!) He left them with the charge to reconsider the budget, reconsider funding, and pointed out that education is "not an issue to be playing politics with."
Who's up for next week?
