The recommendation would give the City Council a new role in increasing the school budget, rather than limiting it to reductions. It would apply only to the school budget and would require approval from both the Council and Mayor. The Committee also accepted a $6,239.76 donation from the JFK PTO for 12 air-conditioning units by a 7-1 vote.
