Revenue Task Force Pre-Update about Impending Update

Although the first public "reporting out" or preliminary recommendations will happen at the November 5th School Committee meeting, Chair Brenda Reffett is preparing a public statement that will talk about the general topics we are pursuing; and recommendations we have already forwarded to the Mayor. In keeping with the spirit of our deliberations, I'll defer any specific comments and post her statement when it is available.

What I will say is this; the dialogue has been free-wheeling, very creative, brutally honest, and very clearly speaks to immediate ('09) needs, and long-term, institutional reforms and projects that could have a positive impact on the schools and the City in years to come.

If there is one more School Committee meeting you come to, I'd suggest the November 5th one. Not only is the agenda packed with critical updates and information, it is the last one before the election.

Have I mentioned I'm running for re-election, and would appreciate your vote?
