Folks, get on the horn now with these people and apply the heat before Monday! All budget cuts are extremely painful, but many other programs that could be cut...
You make a good point, David. The cuts should be reversible. If the MMSD would get a windfall in school aids from the state budget late this summer, a school...
Pam Hathaway of the East Isthmus Neighborhoods Planning Council asked me yesterday if there wasn't some way EINPC could help MNA & TLNA with the school-closing...
To get the board's attention, you're going to have to do something dramatic. I'd suggest sitting in at a board meeting and prevent it from conducting business...
Once again, cards and letters won't do the trick, in my opinion. The board members get so many they couldn't possibly read them all. Put your bodies in front...
I agree with Jason. A message to "keep all schools open" is a clear and comprehensible. It's up to the school board to figure out how. I think email and phone...
To: Those neighbors who've spoken to me about a possible recall of School Board members Beth Moss and Maya Cole, you need to wait until April 2008. Section...
Hi, I am a north-sider who works on the east side. I receive this post because I feel like an east-sider and care about neighborhoods. My wife and I have a...

This is from MMSD board attorney Clarence Sherrod: The board uses a form of parliamentary procedures that allow board members to reconsider actions that have...
For an alternative, I suspect that a 1% cut in funding to business services and MSCR would generate way more money than needed to keep the schools open. An...
Actually, as I understand the motion to reconsider is on the entire budget, not the one amendment. So in fact any of the six (anyone who isn't Lucy Mathiak),...
Michael, I urge you to check with Clarence Sherrod on whether the motion would be on the entire budget. His word is pretty much law. If the motion to...
