Commack Board of Ed to Adopt Tax Levy, Recognize Trustees for Hardwork

Commack Board of Education to hold a public meeting on 7:30 p.m. Thursday at Commack High School.

 

Commack School officials will set the tax levy for the 2012-13 school year and well as honor the hardworking among its own Thursday night. 

Commack Board of Education will hold its October meeting at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 18 at Commack High School. 

The board is expected to take a few moments early in the night to recognize their members, the trustees, for their service and dedication as part of Board Recognition week. 

The night's agenda includes a vote on the adoption of the 2012-13 tax levy as approved by voters in May. The details include setting the tax rate for the school district and for Commack Public Library, which is then further divided based on whether residents live in the Town of Huntington or Town of Smithtown. 

The board of education is expected to accept several donations from the community including a marching band drum from the Gianotti family and a $1,000 donate from the Society for Science & The Public on behalf of Rebecca Alford winning the "Best Of" category. 

For more details, the Commack Board of Education's full agenda for Oct. 18 can be found on district's website.

Rewarding the Board? For what..snubbing the law? What a farce...!! They should be indicted!!! What a bunch of self ingratiating douches...

I think Sarah writes these articles to antagonize the community.
Concerned Comamck Citizen October 19, 2012 at 01:57 am
She gets paid based on hits, that's why she writes them
Patrick October 19, 2012 at 02:43 pm
I totally agree!!!! I think Sara Walsh stirs the pot more than anybody. She doesnt care about dividing a community or controversy. All she cares about IS causing controversy. She sickens me. Sara Walsh never takes responsibility for anything and definitely does not stand by the patchs "terms of use."

She published Tampellini blogs but did not write about Fusco's letter was an apparent lie to the state

@CCC - I didn't think Mr. Fusco lied... from what I can gather from the meeting there just appears to be a difference of opinion as to what exactly happened at the Special Meeting held on September 13, prior to the regular Board meeting. Mr. Fusco's claims nothing happened and the Board disagreed and says they took some actions...... while someone is mistaken... its not clear whose version of events is correct. I don't think it really matters as to who is right because the Board admits it violated the law and that's why they are reworking the way they do things going forward....

I was forawrded a tape of the meeting. Wunch stated that Fusco wrote a letter stating that he was there until 6;55 but he is on tape leaving at 6;26.
Someone is lying

Put the tape up on Youtube and post a link. I would love to see or hear what went on.

What in the world is with you people. Read the story, the reporter did nothing to divide the community. Go yell at the school board if you need to vent.
CONCERNED COMMACKIAN October 19, 2012 at 07:09 pm
Im with you DAO. How can you bitch about an organization not providing enough information and then with the next breath push for censorship? Befuddling.

It would be nice to have all the meetings (any meeting except when confidential matters like security are discussed) be streamed and also viewable later at will. But since they never actually discuss anything in public all you would see is stuff like them giving themselves good conduct awards.
VT October 21, 2012 at 02:20 am
Where is that link??
CONCERNED COMMACKIAN October 21, 2012 at 11:58 pm
You wont get a link, because they wont show you any tape. All the "pro school district" people that post here do not deal in facts. All they try to do is obfuscate with never ending minutia. Its a Gravy Train and no one gets off willingly. Thay have to be dragged off kicking and screaming.

The district already has video links posted on the District website. Unfortunately it is limited to only the self promoting videos at this time, it wouldn't be very hard to post the videos of the BOE meetings, but then again, people would then actually be informed of what is (or is not) going on. Look for yourself http://www.commack.k12.ny.us/BOE/boemeetingpics.asp

Joe: I don't think they will give you any contact info just in case you turn out to be some sort ofRead More kook or stalker. How would you like to be responsible for that security breach?

i believe the best way to locate your teacher is through the commack teachers association (cta).Read More contact the union president, tris stewart, and write a short note. include all the contact information you're comfortable with and wait a bit? 33 years is a long time. good luck.

Might want to google her and see what she's all about.
Ronnie Gavarian June 11, 2013 at 08:22 pm
I know exactly what she's about and that's why I'm trying to spread the word. She confronts theRead More lies and the deceit in the Affordable Care Act. And that needs to be brought to the forefront

Others who may not be familiar with her background should consider googling her...
