With a vote on a preliminary 2013-2014 school year budget set for Wednesday, Board of Education (BOE) trustee Jim Morgan has raised concerns over the fact that the board had not yet met a budget-planning goal initially planned for October. Several other board members said they believe this week will be a better time to meet the goal.

The goal, set by board members in July, called for a discussion of various budget scenarios accompanying property tax increases of 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2 percent, the state-mandated cap.

As a result of Morgan’s statement, Superintendent Daniel Fishbein said he would come prepared to discuss the effects of the various tax scenarios at the March 6 meeting.

The budget is mostly complete, according to Assistant Superintendent of Business Angelo DeSimone, but the district still needed to make some adjustments. At the next meeting, the board will vote on the preliminary budget that will then be submitted to the county for review,

  1. Morgan is about to get steamrolled.
    Expect a budget around that 2% increase figure.

  2. When are we going to get Brogan out? She delays, obfuscates and bullies until she can get her way. Let’s save some money and boot her out!
