School committee candidate Tracy Novick liveblogged the School Committee meeting last night; we’re most struck by committee member Jack Foley’s apparent response to City Council criticism earlier this week that the schools weren’t feeling the same level of budget cut pain as the city.
“we’ve had our problems over the past six years”…688 positions cut, 8 schools closed, “we’ve also faced troubles over the past years”
Ahh yes…love is in the air between City Council and School Committee.

Sorry I didn’t snag all that Jack said; he was talking faster than I can type!
Note that, as of right now, the schools are looking at being $18 million in the hole unless the magic money comes from the fed.
