To the Superintendent and School Committee, Will all $85,000,000 be put to use in 2019? Perhaps the bonding could be broken down to the most urgent projects that are "shovel ready" in 2019. Hold a bond referendum to finance those projects in 2018. After assessing the cities fiscal situation there could be another referendum in 2020. I'm okay with supporting the investment for the kids. I'm not happy about blindly writing a huge check without further due diligence. Prove to the taxpayers that either of the bond amounts merit a yes vote. That means budgets for individual projects. Start and finish dates for each project. Who is accountable for each project and who is responsible for each project. Sharpen your pencil and make the case. The taxpayers deserve nothing less.
