It appears that certain School Committee members spent far more time working on their hair color this summer than they did reading Mass General Law!
First, Kangas questioned whether or not the School District should return the funds received from Facilities Rentals to the Community School Program. She apparently thinks its a good idea that the buildings are maintained using educational tax dollars, but that any rental revenue derived from the use of the buildings be diverted to subsidize Community School operations. Under that same philosophy, maybe I should put an ad on Craig's List to rent out her house!
Then, the Pool Task Force presented their recommendations -- except they had no documents, no budget, no drawings, in fact, no written document of any kind -- AND they claimed they had already authorized school funds to be expended for modifications to the pool area. There are two giant red flags on this play:
1) Regardless of whatever charge the Task Force thinks they may have had -- the purpose of a task force is to make a recommendation which would be acted upon by the entire committee. Two Committee members on a Task Force are certainly not authorized to spend money -- or make policy by themselves.
