Port Jervis board picks Richards amid stormy session
The Port Jervis Central School Board adopted a $1.85 million budget and named Edsyl W. Richards to replace the late John Monahan on the board. Richards placed fourth in a May election as Edmond S. Parsloe and others filled the other seats amid charges of political maneuvering. The budget totals and tax rate, plus salary debates for top administrators, dominated a contentious July planning session. Six nearby districts join Port Jervis on July 1, broadening the tax base by about $600,000 as the board eyes reorganization and future hires.
