Pension dispute fuels board tension and staffing notes
Center From page 1 Farris, Domenick, DiMuccio, Verage and Joseph led votes as dissenters came from Nord Humphrey and Banfield. Nord's motion to table failed with four affirmative votes. DeCesare claims dismissal was political due to ties with Patricia May and Robert Bullano. The Aug 16 consolidation of about 27 million with Morgan Stanley faced criticism. Superintendent Martin noted salary talks, staff absence procedures, and a potential bid from Lawrence County Family Center at 375 per month.

They praise eighth and high school scores while noting year to year comparisons are unreliable due to renorming and varying class compositions. Administrators call for curriculum alignment, growth measures, and potential shifts to criterion referenced testing to pinpoint deficiencies.
