Carney says “there’s no money this year to better fund high-poverty schools,” according to Delaware Public Radio. Hey, you fucking fuck, here’s an idea, raise taxes!
One of the cornerstones of the Wilmington Education Improvement Commission’s plan was for the state to divert more money to schools serving kids from low-income families.
But with a projected $350 million budget shortfall for next year, Carney said during a tele-town hall meeting Wednesday night that it isn’t happening.
“We’re obviously not going to have the kind of revenue to provide additional resources to children…from disadvantaged backgrounds, something I think we ought to look at in the long term,” Carney said.
He also mentioned creating a group to analyze what else needs to be done to better educate children from low-income families.
Oh great, another task force. Carney has never seen a task force he doesn’t love.
Here is a link to a movement afoot to attempt to wake Carney up.
