Officials flag waste in New York school spending

He noted graduate credits for teachers seldom boost performance and questioned overall spending transparency. Separately, the Department of Commerce reports a trade surplus for nine months, with September exports and a 6.45 billion export month, driven by industrial goods and Latin America.
