School Committee meeting TOMORROW

Sorry for the late posting on this one; it's not a regular meeting. We've got a bit of budget business.
The Worcester School Committee will be meeting tomorrow afternoon at 5pm on the fourth floor of the Durkin Administration Building.
The agenda isn't posted online (and Google Docs is being squirrelly about loading it; sorry!), but the only item besides voting acceptance of an $85,000 grant for summer work for kids who've not yet passed the MCAS is a bit of reworking the budget.
Staff have switched health plans and that has resulted in savings for the district of about $1.2 million at this time.
The administration is recommending that $600,000 of this go to teacher salaries; that 242,000 go to instructional assistant salaries; and that $423,688 go to instructional supplies and materials.
The textbook funds will go to upgrading all secondary textbooks, per the request of the Superintendent's Student Advisory Panel.
The IA salaries will restore 7 special ed IAs.
The teachers salaries will restore 6 special ed teachers, 3 secondary teachers, and add 1 secondary teacher (English at Doherty; science at North; 2 science at South).


The other summer meetings are scheduled for July 21 and August 25, in both cases at 4pm at City Hall.
