Wayland Town Crier 1/5/10: Tough talks about proposed cuts for Wayland Public Schools. Questions from residents and responses from school officials at a school budget forum on Monday brought to mind the line in "Cool Hand Luke" delivered by Paul Newman: "What we have here is a failure to communicate." Attendees, which included a contingent of Wayland High School students, expressed difficulty in deciphering the details behind line items in the budget, and anger that effective teachers might be laid off due to lack of seniority, prompting frustration from residents and school officials alike. School Committee Chairman Louis Jurist presented the $30.3 million budget for the 2010-11 school year, which is $725,000 less than the current school year. The proposed budget is the first since 1981 to represent a decrease in school funding.
