Notes from the Board of Ed: FY24 budget

the back up is here

Mohamed: most of the budget is already earmarked (the bulk of it Ch. 70)
discussed several priorities:
early grade literacy
work on curriculum review and recommended best practices
career and technical education
multitiered systems of support
touched on issue of gifted and talented education
"budget committee is not a policy-making committee"
better for that discussion to happen with this board

Moriarty: let us present some good ideas that others want to think about on gifted and talented
"important and worthy topic"

Plankey: forwarding ideas on to legislators and policy makers
would like to see ideas explored more thoroughly
can be overlap in some of commissioner's goals, with getting education that's personally engaging 

Hills: policy should be driving the budget
those have to start with the Department
"there's been a lot of other stuff going on the past few years and I'm aware of it"
"everything that is a priority doesn't get done"

Stewart: still haven't had a conversation at the Board on gifted and talented

roll call on FY24 recommendations passes, which Bill Bell notes will go to "gubernatorial-elect Healey and her team"
