I have already posted on this list more than once that I am a member of the Community Leadership Council for the Whittier Community School for the Arts. Ya know, the Minneapolis school that finished LAST in the recently published test scores.
I personally participated in cutting $700,000 or 21% from their $3.2M budget. It hurt then, it hurts now and it will continue to hurt. Governor Pawlenty, if anyone in your office reads this list (I doubt it) I want you to hold your meetings about the $6.2M gift at Whittier School.
