Northampton Schools Chronically Underfunded

“The schools are underfunded, they do not have a deficit. The ‘deficit’ is a manufactured one. There is over $2 million in free cash available right now and more money in reserves, yet the mayor continues to choose to underfund our schools in the name of fiscal stability. A city that hoards money while choosing not to fully fund essential services, is neither fiscally stable nor fiscally responsible.”

    Such a sad commentary on how we have not prioritized public education in our city over so many years. Northampton needs a great big community opportunity to establish what our obligation is to our children, and how we make that happen. We need a plan!
