General News: School Budget and BOE vote

May 20, 2008

The Cornwall Central School District's 2008-09 budget, which totals $54.1 million, was approved by voters on Tuesday with a final tally of 1,089 in favor and 765 against adoption. School officials predict that the budget will result in an 2.19% property tax increase next year.

In addition, voters elected three members of the Cornwall Schools Board of Education. The three winners are: Larry Berger (1,166 votes), James Congelli (1,156 votes) and Charles Frankel (1,140 votes) .   Hannelore Conlee, the fourth candidate, garnered 777 votes.




Comments:

As a student, this is really fantastic, if it didnt pass they would cut late buses and essentially all after school programs. Sorry about the extra taxes parents but the money is going good places.

I want to thank all the people who voted for me! The experience was terrific. Hopefully I will be of service in the community in the future. I look forward to getting to know people better and helping out where I can. Thanks again! Hannelore

Bet those teachers and principals are going to get a nice pay raise. Sorry we can't say the same for the rest of us we'll just get the good old bill! It's time the board and teachers stop using our kids as hostages! What are they teaching them that its ok to hold kids hostage to get what they want! Sad day for Cornwall people won't be able to live here soon.

booboo84 writes in the previous posting ?Sad day for Cornwall people won't be able to live here soon.? I?m wondering what folks think makes a person a Cornwall person. Is it one?s address, length of residency, cultural and political orientation, family name? What is a Cornwall person? Who is included or excluded?
