After being in possession of the revised state aid for
weeks, Board members finally received something today:
“I am in receipt of a
revised state aid notice for the Lodi school district, which includes an
increase in state aid of $1,773,496 for
the 2018-2019 school budget.
In accordance with the
State of New Jersey Department of Education Guidance on 2018-2019 Revised State
Aid, the Lodi Board of Education may choose, by board resolution dated no later
than August 1, 2018, to use the increased funding during 2018-2019 to:
·
Provide tax relief;
and/or
·
Increase the 2018-2019
general fund appropriations during the budget year; and/or
·
Designate for use in
2019-2020.
I have included a
discussion on this topic on the agenda for the Board's Special Meeting on Tuesday
July 31, 2018.”
So a board resolution
must be dated no later than August 1st and the Board is discussing
it for the very first time on July 31st?
They
are always scheming to benefit themselves and always working against the
taxpayers of Lodi.
I
am sure Capizzi and Quatrone are already prepping the members with the worst
conflicts of interest on how to handle the discussion (purposely mislead the public). Just like last year.
