The Boston Globe reports today that Governor Patrick is about to announce a plan that would inject $168m into the state’s school districts. It will provide some deperately needed relief and could not come a moment too soon for Milton, which like most MA school systems is looking at drastically reducing levels of service.

Specifically how much individual school systems will receive and when is unclear. Hopefully, it will come soon as Milton’s town departments are wrestling with budget projections and struggling together with the Warrant Committee to develop a responsible financial amount that will be recommended in an override election. The school budget will be a large piece of that.

The govener will be making the announcement today in Framingham. You can read the full story here.
