They rolled those out when they first started talking about closings. I agree that they're interesting, and only part of the picture.Ann Doss Helmshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03511764376105157616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4020455191286536580.post-1121008203649839262011-01-05T21:38:40.180-05:002011-01-05T21:38:40.180-05:00I BEG CMS to just check w2's of the thousands ...I BEG CMS to just check w2's of the thousands of liars that are getting free lunches!How hard is it to ask for a W2 before handing out free food? Makes me nuts watching parents drive away in their BMW after dropping off their free lunch paperwork!<br />Our kids rented their textbooks in VaBch..why can't that be done here? <br />These are two easy ways to savemoney and jobs in CMS.PLEASE consider both options!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4020455191286536580.post-87568918427041557992011-01-05T19:09:57.530-05:002011-01-05T19:09:57.530-05:00And also Ann, there is a new piece of data CMS has...And also Ann, there is a new piece of data CMS has developed for all schools. It is called ROI or return on investment (per pupil dollars). It is a measurement of student growth compared to $ per pupil spent at the school. So none the less, it is an interesting comparison when you stack all the schools up with this factor. <br /><br />Also, you will notice, there are still quite a few schools with less than 50% capacity that need to be addressed yet.therestofthestorynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4020455191286536580.post-4226355397248135732011-01-05T19:05:25.428-05:002011-01-05T19:05:25.428-05:00Ann, I thought I'd let you know that LaTarzja ...Ann, I thought I'd let you know that LaTarzja never got back to me on my questions. But I stuck with it and finally got what I wanted. I am still sifting through the last 4 years of per pupil spending I have collected. Let me know if you have any questions.therestofthestorynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4020455191286536580.post-17147283979073123732011-01-05T17:02:45.556-05:002011-01-05T17:02:45.556-05:00Glad to see you'll be getting some help.
