Londonderry needs to cut the bloat out of its budget. There's a lot of unneeded frills. When money gets tight I have to cut spending, well, let the school district do the same.

Still amazes me that Londonderry thinks itself a 'poor' town and somehow deserves extra money from the state. Education is and must remain a local funded event, regardless of the legal opinions otherwise. To remove local funding is to remove local control. Look only to MA for proof of that.
If Londonderry stopped artificially controling proper growth and throwing road blocks against develeopers, we would have the tax base needed to fund our own schools and keep control where it belongs in Londonderry not Concord.
