Worcester Public Schools administration on the proposed charter school

To submit public comment regarding the proposed "Worcester Cultural Academy Charter School" as designated under MGL Ch. 71, sec. 89 (h), which reads "Before final approval to establish a commonwealth charter school, the board shall hold a 4 public hearing on the application in the school district in which the proposed charter school is to be located and solicit and review comments on the application from the local school committee of each school district from which the charter school is expected to enroll students and any contiguous districts."

Mr. Allen addressed this at the meeting:

This is totally nerdy, but hearing @Brian_E_Allen completely annihilate this proposed charter school's budget is freaking amazing. We have a true expert on our side.
