As a member of the School Committee, I urge John Tats to show where we have not cut spending every year in effort to help the taxpayer. But Warren doesn't want to cut anything. They just want the school district to keep cutting so a Warren doesn't have to. Our teachers took 3 zeros in the last contract, Warren gave their employees a raise. We hold a 2% surplus to hold our bond rating. That is what good businesses do. If Warren doesn't do the same that is your problem not ours. Mr Stanley praised us for our budget at one meeting in open session then slams us to the press for reckless spending in another. We live within our budget every year and try our best to only cut when it doesn't effect kids. Unfortunately, this issue will played out in the courts with the taxpayers of Bristol and a Warren footing the bill.
