Motion made by Mr. McKee, seconded by Mrs. Pelletier. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Scherer then asked if he could address the board regarding the two propositions. He asked why so much money was needed for textbooks and why was this not put in the budget. He also asked why so much money was needed for technology.
Students can use old computers and just learn the basics.
He stated that the board made a mistake when they decided to put these two items up as separate propositions. The board thanked Mr. Scherer for his opinions. Mr. Palumbo, from the audience then asked to discuss a disciplinary problem and was invited to meet with the hoard in executive session following the meeting. Mrs. Mower, from the audience, then stated that our textbooks and computers were outdated and that the school needs to improve. She will reach into her pocketbook to support the budget but that the board should make every issue clear to the voters, and maybe cut down on salaries to save money.
