Madison's Spending Priorities: Another $170K administrator or Teaching Kids to Read, among other topics?

News that Madison's new, interim Superintendent Jane Belmore seeks to add a "Chief of Staff" provides taxpayers, parents and students an opportunity to reflect on the District's priorities within the planned $376,200,000 2012-2013 budget ($15,132/student).

The District's job #1, in my view is to address its reading problems. A kind reader mentioned that Reading Recovery was discussed at this past Monday's school board meeting (video).

Will the status quo continue?
