Nick Bearce: A grade for Bangor School Committee's budget
Bangor Daily News, June 5, 2008
(excerpt) A glaring omission in the budget is lack of spending comparisons with similar districts or state or national averages. In the past, comparisons were not done since the budget lines contained different expenses. The state is imposing a uniform chart of accounts which the administration doesn't like. While this may cause some confusion in the short run, in the long run budgets will be comparable between districts.
