School Committee approves FY2010 budget

The Boston School Committee last night unanimously approved Superintendent Carol R. Johnson's $812 million budget proposal after extensive public testimony in the packed auditorium of the Frederick Middle School. The Boston Public Schools budget now becomes part of Mayor Menino's budget submission for the entire City of Boston to the Boston City Council. Today, the Mayor and Superintendent joined hundreds of BPS parents in a rally at the State House to urge Governor Patrick to award State Stabilization Fund dollars from the federal stimulus package to Boston.
