How- ever, business manager Kath- leen Williams reminded the board that the budget is still “a work in progress.” There was an increase in rev- enue, of $290,000 at this point. The state provided the highest amount ever received through the IDEA grant. There were also increases in most grants from the federal government. While there were increases in revenue, projected expenses rose as well. The board also discussed a arking lot at the Lehman-Jack- son Elementary School, which has been in the budget for about four years. Charles Bal- avage recommended that the board agree to put off the paving project, at least for this year, and instead spend the money on a science room in the high school. Angelo DeCesaris was not willing to put off the project so quickly. He ques- tioned why it was needed in the first place. “It irritates me to see things cut out, only because the money isn’t there,” he said. Robert Roberts, Superinten- dent, informed the board that that project was an important one, that if not done this year, it should been done in the near future. After the meeting Sheila Gionfriddo expressed her con- cern with the parking at Lehman-Jackson. She said any- one that wondered if this proj- ect is really needed should visit Lehman-Jackson during a school day, and they would see for themselves cars parked any- where they can fit. She ex- pressed her concern and frus- tration that the board would put this off until a student was killed. The parking lot is not the only project some members of pleted. The science rooms have not been renovated in 40 years, said James Mahon. He felt that “it would be a sin, to not finish this job correctly.” The current classrooms are designed for 23 students, and the administra- tion has said that the rooms need to be able to fit 27 stu- dents. Balavage remarked that the cost of health care insurance is “beating us into the ground.” The prescription plan, which was supposed to be no addition- al cost to the school, has not turned out that way. Several board members felt that it is time to look at getting out of the Northeast School Districts Health Trust. Solicitor Charles Coslett strongly recommended that the board push the teach- ers’ union to choose their repre- sentative, and get moving. “The cost of doing business is getting to be astronomical, and getting more so each month.” After some conversation the board concluded that they needed to set a time to discuss cuts and additions, in order to approving a tentative budget. The Tuesday, June 17, meeting will begin at 6 p.m. to allow for enough time for budget discus- sions.
