Today, Mayor John Moak named the members of a Task Force to Research and Analyze Sources of Revenue For The District. The Task Force is actually an effort undertaken by School Committee; with a Mission of "provid(ing) an objective, comprehensive and transparent examination of existing and future revenue streams of Newburyport and its Public School System.
Drawing from across the city, the Mayor has invited William Heenahan, Dr. Ralph Orlando, Brenda Reffett, Jay Iannini and Ellen Supple from the Community; Deidre Farrell will represent the School Administration, Ari Herzog will represent the mayor, Mark Wright and I will represent the School Committee, and a member of the City Council will have the opportunity to volunteer next Monday.
The work of this Task Force will hopefully produce a clear, transparent understanding for the larger community of the sources and potential sources of revenue needed to operate Newburyport's Schools. Although the Mayor has requested a final presentation by the end of the year, several members present at the School Committee meeting tonight expected a much more accelerated reporting out.
Although the Task Force has yet to meet, it will reportedly not be recommending the printing of money as an option.
