Members of the Cambridge School Committee passed many sections of next year's schools budget without amendment last Thursday night, although several school committee members expressed misgivings about the package in a debate that lasted almost six hours.

Along with the budget's financial terms, the committee approved eight broad measures that, for the most part, reinforce existing policies on class size and the development of district-wide standardized curriculum.

The policy measures and financial provisions were passed almost unanimously, with just minor wording adjustments to the budget proposed by Superintendent of Schools Bobbie J. D'Alessandro.

The committee left money for the restructuring of the Cambridge Rindge and Latin School (CRLS) untouched.

At a hearing last Monday, CRLS Principal Paula Evans presented committee members with requests for an additional $450,000 for teacher training and building renovations. But filling Evans' requests would have meant cutting money from elsewhere in the budget. The budget already allocated $700,000 for the restructuring.

Despite CRLS' requests, committee members sought to pass the budget without extended debate or significant amendments.

"I'm going to support the process that's been established," said committee member Joseph G. Grassi, who said he still objected to many specifics.

"Please stay on this course," he told committee members. "Don't let it unravel and become the cookie jar it once was."
