Reply to Any thoughts on Putnam CT? Anybody commute from there? by apple-masher

People in most of Connecticut and in that area of Putnam in general remind me of southern Californians. More of a "In the middle of Nowhere" type place even though it isn't exactly that.

They break the New Englander law of "We are assholes but we will help you" and follow the "We will be nice but leave you to your doom" type.

Honestly, everywhere in Worcester is going to have students. We are a huge city, with lots of colleges spread out across all corners. And students also tend to like the amenities you desire.

Shrewsbury Street is closest to the medical school though, so most will be older students more likely to be studying than partying if it’s noise/ambiance you’re worried about.

Reply to comment by WorcesterMom in Shortfall projected in Worcester Public Schools budget for upcoming year by HRJafael

As WPS budget watchers will know, we've illustrated for years how incredibly underfunded our central administration is. For the current year's budget, you can find it here: https://worcesterschools.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/FY23-Recommended-Budget-Worcester-Public-Schools.pdf#page=402

​

I'd also note that we have long since committed to a policy that no more than 1.5% of the district foundation budget will be spent on administration; it's written straight into our district policy.
