Board of Ed Allows Test Scores To Fall Among the Lowest on LI
Now They Want You To Trust Them With 40 Million Dollars

By Stewart Lilker

The Freeport Board of Education, under the failed leadership of VP Albert Renken has stood idly by as student reading scores have fallen off the charts. Now, after having secret and unreported meetings with the Village fathers for the past two years, they have come up with a plan to part the taxpayers of the district of almost 40 million dollars. On March 15, rather than open the polls at 6 a.m., giving the district residents an opportunity to vote before they go to work, they decided to open the polls at 12 p.m., in what has been their annual modus operandi to restrict voting. Hidden deep in the language of the bond is the following, the estimated costs set forth in the Plan may be reallocated among the various District buildings and components of the Project if the Board of Education shall determine that a reallocation is in the best interests of the District. If the bond resolution succeeds, the district residents will have entrusted 40 million dollars, plus interest, in the hands of people who have brought this once proud district to the bottom of the heap and have time and time again demonstrated their untrustworthiness, with no guarantee that their money will be spent on what they voted for.  Go to Bond
