Boston school talks collapse in bid to save city system
Boston mayor Kevin White and the City Council failed to agree on emergency financing for the penniless school system. A court deadline loomed as negotiators split over control provisions while 64,500 students faced potential school closures. A mediator quit after hours, and Superior Court urged a plan to reopen schools by Monday. The state Board of Education pressed for classes through June amid a 30 million shortfall and 180 day requirement.
