Board weighs $133,974 budget cut and district issues
The Board of Education plans a November 17 vote to trim its budget by 133,974 dollars due to reduced state aid linked to Byrne budget problems. President Flannery says the board will cut expenses rather than dip into surplus to keep next year’s tax rate lower. A separate item notes trial Friday over building and other violations at the Blue Ribbon Inn tavern on Hollywood Ave, with neighbors complaining of disturbances and a court ruling on entertainment limits.
