Smithtown Taxpayers Education News wholeheartedly endorses Board President Bob Rossi and fellow Trustee, Neil Carlin, for election on Tuesday, May 17th, for the SCSD Board.
Also on the ballot is the uncontested seat held by Gladys Waldron for 33 years. We endorse no one for this position.
There are two referendum questions with a 'yes' or 'no' for both--they cannot be split. They are: to extend the walker area slightly--an elementary student now is eligible for busing if living next door to the school, this would extend the distance to 1/2 mile, with similar changes for older students; and to go back to the state required 15 mile distance for mandatory busing to private and parochial schools, rather than the 20 miles Smithtown previously agreed to in a referendum.
The budget and contingent budget are the same, so voting it down will only force the taxpayers to pay for a re-vote. Support the budget.
Get to your polling place on Tuesday--Accompsett El, Smithtown El, St James El, or Nesconset El.
