"I don't know about anyone else, but I'm very uncomfortable about this budget," said Board of Education (BOE) Vice President Anne Drake, who presided over last night's special meeting. "I don't feel ready to vote on this, but I know that we have to. I must say that if we go to contingency -- programs, teachers -- they will be cut, unfortunately." But she still couldn't bring herself to vote for the new proposed budget that is being proposed to replace the one that taxpayers said no to in May. The Board voted 4-2 to put the new budget before the voters on June 20th.

The meeting began with a review of its charge and an explanation of the process and what has been accomplished so far. Next Middle School Principal John Gizzi and High School Principal Michelle Stone gave comprehensive presentations on how issues in their buildings impact their programs now and into the future.

With Lansing's School Budget the only one defeated in Tompkins County the Board of Education (BOE) has three options. They can put the defeated $21,553,679 budget up for a vote again next month, they can put an amended budget up for a vote, or they can do nothing. Doing nothing means a contingency budget will go into effect, cutting $378,530 and mandating how monies are used. The Board voted to take the middle course, which is to develop a new budget with more cuts and hope that taxpayers will accept it.

The most fun part of Board of Education (BOE) Meetings is when students present work that they have done during the year. Monday's meeting was no exception as first graders showed art work they had done and fourth graders presented art and science from their study of biomes.
