FACTS Delivered.
to consider a NO vote to Ballot Questions 6, 7 & 8 
 
They say Medford Schools are chronically underfunded and question 7 will get more money to the schools.
 
FACT IS according to the MA State Dept of Elementary & Secondary education the state average cost per pupil is     
$19, 714 and MEDFORD cost per pupil is $21, 372 (outspending most neighboring cities)
  • Arlington =$18,615
  • Malden = $17,428
  • Somerville = $$23,958 (Just built a new school)
  • Melrose = $15,540
  • Peabody = $16,996
  • Mystic Valley Charter School = $14,167
Do you know how top heavy Medford School Administration is?
Where is the EXACT BUDGET for where THIS money will be spent?  Would your family make a MAJOR purchase or investment without knowing exactly what you would get for it? Have you seen the major increase in spending EVERY YEAR since Superintendent Eduoard- Vincent took over? 
 
 
MORE MONEY IS NOT THE SOLUTION,
 BETTER MANAGEMENT IS.
 
They say VOTING yes on 7 will get the streets fixed.  
 
Let's face it folks- this has become a BAD joke!  There is 34 Million dollars in FREE CASH (your overpayment of taxes). They have the money- they still aren't fixing the streets- how many claims has the city had to pay out on people falling or popping tires on the road? 
 
 
MONEY IS NOT THE SOLUTION, 
BETTER MANAGEMENT IS.
 
They say Question 8 will fund the vocational school.
 
FACT IS Medford has such a robust, very well run & fully funded vocational school, well below capacity that it allows students in from other cities-  bringing more income in.  
 
Pat on the back to Principal Chad Fallon, 
guess THAT group missed the memo!
 
NOTHING TO FIX HERE! 
 
 
 
They say Question 8 will get the teachers and para's a raise-
 
 THEY STILL HAVEN'T received their raise from almost 2 years ago! You had the money- you didn't pay them.
Yet the School Committee, Superintendant, administration and Mayor all ‘took’ a nice raise. 
 
How many teachers/paras left Medford?
How many teachers/paras were layed off in 2024?
 
There are currently 59 open positions in Medford Public Schools- they must have the money to fund them or they wouldn't be advertising them. 
 
 
MONEY IS NOT THE SOLUTION, 
BETTER MANAGEMENT IS.
On November 5th when you go to the polls to -VOTE- 
Please vote NO on Questions 6, 7 and 8.
