The Brookline School Committee is considering fully privatizing the custodial and food services in the Brookline Public Schools. “Privatization” means that instead of these services being provided by known and trusted School Department employees, services are provided by a third-party vendor, over whom the School Department has little to no control with a high probability of no long-term cost savings.
Privatization in Brookline means...
- A reduction in quality of services
- A reduction in school safety and security
- The elimination of good jobs
