Medford Schools - The Actual Cost 
posted by John at 2:28 PM

While you are pondering our situation, just a quick bit of math: $2.4 million shortfall = $36 and change per person living in Medford. Expand out to include the whole district, expand the base to include businesses, and I would bet the average burden per person per year will come in at pretty close to $20 each (maybe for most of us, even less, if we do something 'ability to pay' based)

So one nice night out to eat, 6 packs of cigarettes, one movie with snacks and a companion... any of those would equal your added burden to balance the Medford schools budget.

You'd think we could find a way.
