School Budget, $1K Donation This Week

The Teaneck Board of Education is scheduled to vote on the district's proposed $91.9 million school budget Wednesday. 

School board members have been grappling with and all 46 district lunchroom aides. The outsourcing is expected to save $800,000 in all. 

Not all board members are sold on the concept, with concerns raised over the quality of outside staffers and the impact on district employees. 

Cutting two administrative positions would also save $205,000, through retirements or other cuts, district officials have said. Increasing the requirement for busing students from 0.9 to 1.3 miles is projected to save $100,000.

Changes can be made to the budget ahead of a vote Wednesday to adopt the proposal. The public meeting will be held at 8 p.m. at Teaneck High School's student center.
