Taxpayers in the Lake-
Lehman School District
can breathe easier--at
least for 1981-82. The
school board last week
voted to keep local
property taxes at their
present rate of 91 mills.
Total amount of the year’s
budget is $6,125,312.
A brief flap erupted
when board member Ed
Mark charged the board
with passing an un-
necessary two-mill in-
crease last year in order
to create a surplus which
the district then invested.
While Mark continued
to criticize the board for
producing budgets with
‘duplication, overlapping,
and fat,’ chairman Angelo
DeCesaris said that there
must be some leeway in a
budget because of income
uncertainties. Member
Gilbert Tough criticized
Mark, saying that he had
failed to attend work
sessions where the budget
was produced. -
In other business,
DeCesaris = appointed
Mark as a ‘committee of
one’ to give further study
to the possibility of
replacing the regional
system of election school
directors with some form
of at-large election.
Alternatives available to
the board consist of
retaining the three-region
system, converting to
wholly at-large election,
and combining the two in
some way.

Solicitor Atty. Peter
Savage said that the
board itself, if interested,
could submit to the
Luzerne County Court of
Common Pleas a plan that
would combine regional
and at-large elections or,
alternatively, citizens
could petition the court.
The number of citizens
petitioning, though, would
have to equal 25 percent of
the number who voted for
the school director with
the highest vote total in
the last election. Mark
himself had raised the
question of converting to
at-large election at the

May meeting.

member Donald Jones
said he had never heard of
the low bidder--Sekar

said he did not know what
the board would do about
awarding a garbage
pickup contract or when it
would deal with the
matter again.
The board also revised
the school calendar to
reduce it from 181 to 180
days and make June 4
rather than June 7, 1982,
