Senator awaits word on New Hampton School reopening
State Senator Richard E. Schermerhorn said he is awaiting Albany’s decision on reopening the New Hampton State Training School for Boys, closed last month and slated to transfer to the state Division of Youth. He met with about 50 workers and urged action to ease confusion at Otisville after 139 inmates were moved from New Hampton this past month. He noted Dr. T Norman Hurd is optimistic but no concrete plan has emerged. The school’s workers prefer permanent reopening over a temporary measure.

Port Jervis approves 4 million budget amid teacher dismissal protest
Port Jervis School Board passed a 4 million dollar budget for 1971-72 without opposition at a public hearing while facing strong protest over the dismissal of sixth grade science teacher John Alfano. About 50 parents and teachers signed petitions demanding explanation and reinstatement, citing his role in the teachers union and last October strike. Alfano vowed to win back his job, urging the board to justify the firing as the budget hearing called the plan very basic.

Warwick board to resubmit 45 million budget plan
Warwick school board eyes a revote on the defeated 45 million dollar budget after last week's district election. The package proposed a 10.3 percent tax increase and a separate library proposal that failed 827 to 348. Opposition from the Warwick Taxpayers Association cited administrative library costs and a seven new staff addendum. The board may resubmit intact, approve parts, or pursue an austerity budget.
