The good news in brief

$350,000 being cut from elsewhere in WPS budget to go to classrooms
$350,000 coming from City Manager's discretionary and from WPD (not hiring class until October)
$1,000,000 coming from city capital to replace PCB removal funds currently allocated in WPS budget (this will postpone some other rehab work the city was planning)

The recommended allocation from school administration will be coming later this week. It, I am told, includes elementary teachers, MassCore (secondary) teachers, and school nurses.
