The City Council wants to take over the School Dept. and that big pile of money that inner city kids get from the state and feds! Of course Lukes has a disdain for kids from the lower economic class and will make sure the money goes to charter and west side slackers! http://telegram.com/article/20090507/NEWS/905070653/1101

Anyone that needs to know why Massachusetts keeps electing severely incapable people to high positions....ask the dude who put three kids through public school and thinks that it's ok to lie about your credentials so as long as you are voting for the people who got you the job the next time their term comes up. Hahah…a little ol’ test that certifies you to be a Superintendent!

The Manager and Council look like bullies that shake down School kids for their lunch money especially when the City is 12 million dollars under the 2 1/2 cap! http://www.worcestermagazine.com/content/view/3999/ Looks like a lot of people are going to start pointing to that pile of potential revenue if the Manager n Council keep screaming poor mouth! The Council has gotten all the mileage they can out of the 12 million dollar under the cap talking point! Does anyone on the School Com. or Council have the political courage to stop these insider bullies from stealing from the poorest kids in the City,the 1.4 million n shutting down the pools and say IT'S TIME to tap that 12 Mil? I hope so! It is sooo wrong for the City side to charge the School side for work they don’t do!

I see not much has changed regarding WPS.
“Surpriiise, surpriiise, surpriiise”… as we say down here in Mayberry.

more and more folks are starting to state on the record how are school system is really performing…I am not ready to throw it completely under the bus but it is evident that WooTown can not continue to invite/be so attractive to every impoverished person and those that just like being taken care of and survive….there is no plan or money available to continue having all of the schools being filled with kids that do not want to learn & are not getting the support at home needed to excel…..John Monfredo’s mantra “for the kid’s” has gotten old…WooTown needs to level the field and this should be the sole plan..

"The Donna Byrnes story is BS and the charge that the WPS is full of unqualified teachers and administrators is false" I have friends on the Somerville, Harwich & Barnstable Boards of Aldermen/Selectmen and all have said that having unqualified folks as special ed teachers is not the norm....nor is having unqualified teachers period the norm. I welcome this scutiny as a taxpayer..I hope you are right El Gordo but if not a new day is dawning in WooTown again.. kudos to you and your children for their accomplishments but I am glad that you have little control ovah more of this being uncovered.
