Although it is now too late to incorporate the money into the school budget, this should not prevent City Manager Robert W. Healy from considering reallocating funding.

Although recent, more stringent specifications bulk up those safeguards by requiring recipients of identifying information to sign a pledge of confidentiality, they say that there is little that authorities can (or are willing to) do when that pledge is broken by anxious parents or school officials.
