Leopold Additions Included in 2006 MMSD Operating Budget

Channel3000:

The Madison school board voted 4--3 Monday night to include additions to Leopold Elementary School in next year's operating budget.

A final vote will come at a later meeting, but this essentially means that construction can start with our without a referendum.

Background on Leopold here. Johnny Winston, Jr., Juan Jose Lopez, Bill Keys and Shwaw Vang voted for the motion while Carol Carstensen, Lawrie Kobza and Ruth Robarts voted against it, preferring, I'm told, to consider this question with the entire 2006/2007 budget, which the board has not yet seen.

Student rep Connor Gants pointed out (he also voted for it) that the motion does not really matter as it could be changed when the 2006/2007 budget is actually approved. More on the budget, here.

Channel3000 has an update here.
