Petersburg’s School System Budget

From our Marshall Street Correspondent, Linas:
~Mady



Petersburg’s School System Budget to be presented tonight, 7:00 PM at Sycamore Rouge in Petersburg
Like a loud echo through a canyon, the word “education” continues to reverberate throughout our city -- “If only our schools improved, then the whole city would revive.” Our schools are challenged – not one is accredited. New school board members were elected this month; how will they address this challenge?
It’s time to look at some of the fundamental elements of our educational system, and this month the Community Forum will focus on school funding. Petersburg spends more money per student than neighboring localities, but that’s not reflected in the resulting product.
Public budgets can be very complex, so we’ll try to boil it down to the basics – “Petersburg School Funding – Back to the Basics.” What are the A-B-C’s and 1-2-3’s of our city’s education dollar?
Come to Sycamore Rouge tonight, Thursday, May 25, 2006 at 7:00 p.m. and let’s all explore this important issue together.
