Administrators, of-course, in many school districts have advocated for larger budgets for years and haven't gotten it. Cities and towns often vote no on the necessary budgets to run these schools. These reserve funds you speak of are paltry compared to what is really needed. Now what? It's easy to make mandates, but no one wants to fund them.

So what happens when more often than not the funding is not there? All the special ed teachers I know have grueling schedules and gigantic case loads. It is moronic to think it's a lack of will.

How do you force schools to be accountable when you yourself cite that there is limited staff and resources? Magic?

Thank you for this post. I now have a better understanding of the natural gas pipelines versus LNG.

Why didn't we have the possibility of rolling blackouts two+ years ago with the existing infrastructure? Is there enough natural gas to pump into the region that liquified natural gas injections couldn't solve?

Tis the winter of our discontent. :/
