Your article about the East Brunswick Board of Education surplus account being seriously low just shows once again how irresponsible the board and its superintendent are.
In the Sept. 6 issue of the Sentinel, Superintendent of Schools Jamie P. Savedoff boasted that there are new curriculum courses being offered, and among the most noteworthy is a new history elective titled "American Images on Film," a course similar to one taught at a lot of colleges. He went on to say that another new program at the high school will involve the use of computer technology to teach and help students compose music in a state-of-the-art MIDI (musical instrument digital interface) music laboratory.
All this in a year when the district was forced to hire about five fewer teachers than proposed at Churchill Junior High School because there was not enough money, when the budget surplus is seriously low, and when once again the board is trying to circumvent the voters’ wishes and going through the township to borrow more than $2 1/2 million dollars (which this time will be a little harder to be approved because Mayor William Neary is up for re-election, and he will think twice before authorizing it).
Is this the way a good administrator (who recently had his contract extended and received a salary increase) acts, or does he just not care about the hard-working residents and senior citizens who can no longer afford to pay the high school taxes created with the help of an irresponsible Board of Education?
