They want to see smaller classes, full time librarians, full art, music, sports... How in the world will that happen. Gates money running out. I see consultants crossing the borders sneaking into Pittsburgh.
Great Public Schools-Pittsburgh has a wish list. How about vocational education too? Our students need skills training. While music, art and sports are important, when the roof leaks, are you going to call a ballerina?
They want less high stakes testing. Gates won't like that at all. How are they going to get rid of high paid teachers? SEIU Healthcare? What the heck is that? At least the PFT supports this. It's about time they supported something. Just sayin' "

Excellent! Very clear thinking on the part of the original poster.
PG article mentioning this report:

I have a question. For example say a 12 month employee and a ten month employee both have 15 years service. The twelve month employee has 5 weeks vacation and the tenth month employee has none!? Then the ten month employee has all summer off with out pay and can not get unemployment. Do you have any clue how demanding, draining, depressing and over whelming it is working in these schools? You get depressed, over whelmed and some of us have mental break downs!The ten month employees deserve some type of vacation time to mentally deal with this job! PLEASE HELP!
