However, Commack Resident Dawn-Marie Bailey wrote, "Very depressing. I guess everyone in this town is happy with the status quo. With us being held in handcuffs. The trustees spend, spend and spend our money (on high administrative salaries and grossly high contracts) and they continue to lay off teachers and cut student programs. It's disgusting. Again, I can't imagine why you would be happy about it. The Board is doing a terrible job, mismanaging funds and hurting the students. Yet you celebrate."
