Misc salaries

Including a grab bag:
Adult ed
special ed summer schools
Clark Masters program (Mr. O'Connell would like to see us re-impliment this)
cheerleader advisers ($12,000)
Community schools: level service, level funding
Future teachers' academy
Police service
Translators ($100,000)

Mr. O'Connell wants to spend more on the future teachers' academy, too.
Mr. Bogigian on community schools: how many did we have in FY08? There were six more (we had 10); it was $258,000 then. Now we are spending a bit over $200,000; he wants to know how this money works out. Do we, he asks, have a community school run by 21st Century grant?

Also, this from the translators section:
"Additional language translations will be required for Office of Civil Rights compliance"
We are currently out of compliance under civil rights laws, and we are not budgeting enough to get into compliance. It seems we probably have underbudgeted here to keep us in legal compliance.

Much conversation going on about community schools. The Mayor ties this to pools being open and having things for the children to do.
