Hi Sandy. I really appreciate these summaries. Thanks for taking the time to put them together.
I have a daughter currently in 4th grade at Lincoln. They have 4 classes in their year, it’s a “bubble year.” I keep wondering when I see the note that they’re cutting one teacher from 4th grade. I think it’s actually 5th grade, if we’re talking about next year. On the chart it looks like the bubble year (currently 4th graders) will be losing a class and going down to 3. I hope this makes sense!!
Mrs Patti said at one of the recent meetings that the current 4th and the current 3rd grade only differ by one student and there are only 3 3rd grade classrooms. They were expecting to lose a 4th grade classroom next year.
I enjoy reading your school committee summaries very much! Thank you for all the time and effort you put into writing these.

I find it so sad that we use our public pre-K to help fund the rest of the school system. A 7% increase in tuition is very high.
I blame the voters who voted against the override first but this “offset” has been in place long before the failed override. It’s a real shame.
Don’t be fooled. Even with another override (by the way why didn’t the last one help these situations) this would still be the case.
