Hebron Dollars & Sense

ALL of us need to do our part .. those who actively post on this site and those who just visit as guests/readers. Take an active role by emailing our town officials and/or submitting a letter to the editor in Rivereast. SOMETHING IS WRONG with a budget that lowers textbooks allocation from 126K to 86,900 and doubles the line item 3009 for BOE-legal $28K in 2009-2010 and $59,838 for the current budget. What has this small district become ... a "training ground for litigation"?

No teacher should be cut, the C&E program should remain intact, and the funds to be spent on the all-day kindergarten (which will benefit less than 10% of the school population) need to be re-assigned to benefit the ENTIRE school population!! The BOE needs to look at non-teaching positions (take a count of secretarial positions in our small district), eliminate the non-mandated ADK program, eliminate the administrative "curriculum specialist" position since the individual has submitted her resignation and question all office expenses (with the e-notify system LESS paper, stamps etc. should be used yet this expense remains stagnant).

I encourage all of you reading this post to write, phone, email ... do whatever it takes to have your voice heard. It is our "dollars" and we should have some input. Our schools were great before this administration took over ... and with the parents and town residents involved, they will continue to be great.
