>From the Strib: The Minneapolis school board got a blunt message Tuesday from its citizen budget advisers: Close schools, and don't fumble the job this time.
The Citizens Budget Advisory Committee delivered that message as the board adopted a $429 million operating budget for next school year, down 7 percent from last school year. It's a budget that spreads too little money over too many schools, according to Interim Superintendent David Jennings. "It seems obvious that we are spending resources on space instead of students," the budget group said in a statement read to the board by its chairman, Eli Kaplan. http://www.startribune.com/stories/1592/4853342.html David Brauer List manager REMINDERS: 1.
