26 years ago the Newtown education system was excellent, today it is not.
No amount of money will fix that until those responsible for the destruction leave the school system.
Is it not true, that school budgets, by LAW, cannot be reduced year to year, no matter the reason? If it was 1M at 1000 students, next year at 500 students, the budget MUST be 1M?
Cutting the school budget should mean consolidating schools and cutting redundant heads. Instead we give raises. There is no meaningful way to manage these budgets by voting. 90+ of us know this.
