Public questions school officials
The Leader-Herald/Rodney MinorCity resident Julia Smullen, a teacher’s aide at McNab Elementary School in Gloversville, speaks during the public hearing Tuesday on the proposed 2008-09 budget for the Gloversville Enlarged School District.
GLOVERSVILLE — More than 50 Gloversville Enlarged School District taxpayers turned out Tuesday and put school officials on the spot with questions about the proposed budget for the 2008-09 school year. The Board of Education last month adopted a $50.6 million tentative budget, which includes a 6.9 percent tax-levy increase. That is a concern for city resident Arthur Simonds, who also is a member of the city Zoning Board of Appeals. Simonds said residents of the district do not have the high-paying jobs necessary to afford the tax-levy increase the school board is proposing.
