Vote NO on the budget and vote OUT the incumbents. $110 million of insanity.
Agreed, vote no. Fishbein, Gorman and multiple board members need to go. They can’t get jobs in other districts. And along with Brogan and Loncto, they’ve overseen the demise of our once great schools. Their current “product” includes a mere four national merit scholars and only 2.4% of graduates in the Ivy League. It’s not a “Tradition of Excellence.” More like a “Legacy of Incompetence.” But until the mommies stop buying the lie their realtor friends keep telling them, nothing will change. Unless we are willing to admit we don’t have great schools anymore, the $110 million hype fest will continue.
A no vote to the budget sends it to the Village Council. Last time they trimmed minimally. I get the fact that you get to say enough is enough but be prepared to pay $110 million.
Having a vote will reduce the budget so so incrementally. What’s the point. Agree with comment above
