This week, we launched our School Budget Hub just as Districts begin their public budget process. It includes a series we completed a while back that walks residents through the ACFR – an annual record of what school districts actually spent. A new section includes profile cards that rank our Dashboard 7 across various spending areas and another that includes an analysis that ties ACFR spending to School Performance for each of the seven district.
While school budgets dominated this week, we also published an op-ed from a Randolph resident on …..school spending.
We were able to squeeze out an update on a heavy Assembly Agenda that touched upon housing, AI, law enforcement, and public contracts.
The week wrapped up with some concerning news on layoff notices that touched two communities within the 21st.
