School Board Replies to Mayor On Innuendo Inquiries
Valenti said the Board’s audits since 1951 show accounts balanced and funds accounted for. A 1964 special audit found a $925.72 milk subsidy check deposited to a credit union, not the Board, with records shared with the Union County Prosecutor. The board rejects insinuations of noncooperation, noting auditors had full access to records and that township checks were signed by the mayor and treasurer.

Bonding coverage is cited as protection while budget plans for 1965-66 hinge on whether the money is found by January 12.
