Locker Thefts And Drug Policy Dominate East Greenbush Meeting
East Greenbush Central School District residents pressed the board on locker thefts and marijuana use at the high school. A parent cited thefts from girls and boys areas, including a $250 violin, with some items recovered and suspensions issued for the other school's team. The district noted police involvement and promised better locker area supervision, while drug abuse policies and busing delays were also discussed. The board approved library books for sex education, a state aid protest, curriculum development channels, a music program review, use of retirees as substitute teachers, and a bus route change to Albany for parochial students.
