BOS Special Meeting
Helen Kwasniewski
In regard to items #6 to items #8 Board of Education requesting
Chromebooks and Desktop Computers.
I urge the BOS NOT to approve this request. The BOE get a $3 million
increase in their budget due to the fact that no one knows how to say
NO. The BOE needs to start using their department budgeted money and
stockpiling their slush fund.
Once again I urge you to vote NO!
Thank you
