Legislative priorities

The G/EI standing committee has compiled the following list for the Legislative delegation:

• fully fund FY11 foundation budget
• freeze charter schools
• freeze sped tuition
• eliminate unfunded transportation mandates
• revise charter school funding formula
• support pension schedule funding extension
• support funding adequacy study
• use a growth model (i.e. MAPs testing) to measure success

That Legislative tea is now Friday, February 26 at 3:30 pm in the Harrington Room at Worcester Tech (and yes, it's open to the public. It has to be, as a quorum of School Committee members will be presented).
