LETTERS: Board budget is respnsible

To the editor:
   
I encourage voters to support the proposed school budget on Tuesday.
   I have been a resident of South Brunswick for 20 years. The costs to run my home have certainly increased during this time. The same goes for the districts’ expenses. I hope we continue to move forward with the quality of education we give our children.
   While crafting a budget that meets the needs of our community, there were several uncontrollable challenges the board confronted this year. We face another year of increased enrollment matched with a decrease in ratables, restrictions imposed by a state budget cap law and flat state aid. I believe the board has done an excellent job presenting us with a fiscally responsible budget given these obstacles.
   Please, support this budget and do not assume it will pass without your help.
   Take time to vote yes on both questions Tuesday.
