If you wish to hear how some on the school committee feels about voting against their request; go to youtube for the September 25, 2019 district meeting and fast forward to 51 minutes into meeting, as the moderator states "your consistent", listen very closely (I listened several times) you will hear a member of the school committee state "F&ck em all" and you should know or realize whom that voice belongs to. One thing to think that, but to actually state that into a microphone concerning how people are voting, well that pretty much sums things up.

Ms. Hughes posted an apology for the words and stated it was frustration; I listened over and over and it does not sound like frustration to me, it comes off as smug, matter of fact. 
Of course, it was a hot mic.

The horse is not dead, it is still kicking; it is the voters of two towns,

Interesting numbers; DESE aid = $10,861,995.00 +$800,000.00 (from E&D + Medicaid) + already voted amounts from two towns - $6,491.000.00 (Templeton $1,654,000.00 (Phillipston. Together that comes to $19,806,000.00 (I rounded off towns assessments) If Templeton were to give the extra $487,000.00 that would equate to the school getting $20,293,995.00.

As it stands after the district meeting vote, the school would be getting more than they are seeking, ($19.7 million)

Take the 19.5 million and let us all know how much you actually ended up with.

Just for kicks, the school shows on the spread sheet they distributed at the meeting that thy received $365,000.00 in transportation reimbursement for FY2019. DESE has already released the actual on transportation for FY2019; it is $433,485.00. That was posted a couple weeks back, so again, why is the meeting not presented with up to date dollar figures? Stop telling me to F my self and give me good current numbers, not much to ask for.
