Due to the New Year's Day holiday, Haldane's Board of Education will hold its monthly business meeting on Wednesday, January 3, 2013 at 7:00 pm (instead of its usual Tuesday meeting night). The draft agenda on the Haldane website lists business meeting items as well as follow-up discussion to the James Pond property, capital project updates, and an ongoing item which will remain on the agenda for the time being, the Blue Hill Bay, LLC Subdivision, formerly known as the Highland Valley project.
Please Note: All members of the community are encouraged to attend the Board of Education workshop meeting scheduled for January 15, 2013.
New York State Senator-elect Terry Gipson and Assemblywoman Sandy Galef have been invited to attend and contribute to the district budget discussions and hear public concerns about the Tax Cap and Gap Elimination Adjustment. A large public turnout for this meeting by the widest representation of the Haldane community--including all Philipstown residents--can make a significant impression upon legislators that the financial pressure the state has imposed upon school districts is unsustainable and consideration is due to schools struggling to make budgets.
The location for this meeting is not yet set, but follow-up information will be available here and on Haldane's website. Please make plans to attend.
