Tangential at best to this blog, but deja vu for schoolinfosystem.org readers. Brenda Konkel asks questions about the Madison Police Department's $44M budget and is accused of "micromanaging". Interesting times. Read on.

As incomplete as the city budget might be, it's better than what the MMSD produces. Like the city budget, the MMSD budget doesn't provide any figures by program.

On June 23, I sent the following e-mail to Roger Price to get figures by a few programs. I received no answer or even an acknowledgement.

Roger,
Can you please tell me the amount the MMSD budgeted and spent in the 2004-2005 fiscal year on the following programs:
TEP
Reading Recovery
Read 180
Direct Instruction
Educational Framework
SIP
Could you also give me the amount budgeted for each program in the 2005-2006 fiscal year?
