June 9th - School Budget VOTE at Town Office

Today is the day. No word from the Governor on that Emergency Bill to defer for one year the penalty for those districts that did not consolidate so plan on the higher tax rate if you vote yes on the Proposed School Budget.

As for that Clifton School Board rep who telephoned the Cliftonnews.blogspot.com writer (see the comments on my previous blog) - the Clifton School Board member was not even at the June 4th meeting. Just one more reason why taxpayers should not blindly trust their reps or the Board.

Another BTW - I reported that at the June 4th meeting, Chairman Varnum announced "the Board" had requested the Interim Superintendent to extend his contract as Interim Superintendent. We will need to expect another apology from the School Board Chairman. It wasn't on the Executive Session's agenda so it didn't happen there. I was at the official public meting and I can testify it didn't happen there. So where did it happen?

Mr. Varnum has NO AUTHORITY to do such a thing on his own without the Board's full knowledge and authorization. Just one more reason why this Board needs another Chair (even though he has stated he has no intention of stepping down). Mr. Varnum thinks he has more authority than he does. Shades of the former Superintendent and isn't that how we got in this lawsuit mess in the first place?
