    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?
