In this episode:

  • I correct myself to say MUHS does indeed enroll student with disabilities
  • I go through the district's published plans to save $14m annually in case we vote down the operating referendum
  • I acknowledge and go through the facts that (a) total state aid to WSD has indeed kept up with inflation and (b) spending on administration rose by 50% over the past five years.
  • And I talk about the extent of my own interests in the result of the referendum votes.
