Heights School Budget, 'Bugsy Malone' Hits the Stage This Week

Coming up this week on Patch

The proposed budget for the 2013-2014 school year may be among the featured discussion points Thursday night when the Hasbrouck Heights Board of Education convenes.

Earlier this month the board approved a tenative budget in the amount of $28.6 million which would collect $25,980,566 from Hasbrouck Heights taxpayers and $135,731 from Teterboro.

Compared with last year's figures the tax levy appears to have an increase of roughly 4 percent over the 2012-2013 tax levy.

Also expected Thursday during the Board of Education meeting will be a presentation from represenatives of CDI, the consulting firm hired to conduct a security assessment for the district.

The consultants are currently reviewing the school's security policies, meeting with school administrators and police department officials.
