"How much of the budget shortfall could be eliminated if administrative costs stay the same as last year? The district's business consultants recommended doubling administrative costs from 4% of the budget to 8%." "Has the whiz kid from the business world, David Jennings figured out why cost overruns and unbudgeted expenses have been running into the 10s of millions of dollars each year?" "How much did the district pay for each of the satellite classroom buildings that were constructed in the early 1990s? How much, per building, for the shell of those buildings (before heating, plumbing, wiring, and other amenities)? Who was the general contractor? Did anyone else bid on the job?" "How much money is in the budget for impact aid to keep SW Minneapolis schools under-enrolled?" "How much could be saved by eliminating multiple curriculum tracks for K-8 students, and nonacademic curriculum tracks for high school students?" These all seem like reasonable questions. Any one from MPS willing to step up to the plate? TJSWIFT Saint Paul __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Send FREE Valentine eCards with Yahoo!
