more of my tax money to waste - these 'positions' should be minimal payment only and taken advantage of by people that want to advnace their career in politics.... as a taxpayer, I have no interest in making consultants rich. So much for 'for the people, by the people'. It's more like 'for me, by the people'.

clearly, the answer is more school funding.

Is it any wonder that 40% of kids who tried to transfer out of their failing schools were turned down?

I've heard one of the consultants suggested the city build a Monorail and not use the MTA to get students to school.

I'm told that the way this consulting firm has saved money for school systems in other cities has been to close schools, increase class size and pocket their fees and leave town.
