SCHOOL BOARD STARTS
PREPARATION OF
BUDGET
At a special meeting of the
Bethpage Scliool Board held on
Tuesday evening the Budget for
the school jear 1941-42 was one
of the main topics on the calendar.
After spending consideraJble time
on each item of the budget it was
decided to call amother meeting for
next Tuesday evening when the
budget will no doubt be completed
in a tentative form. A number of
improvements in the school are
anticipated for the coming year
and although some of the budget
items might show a slight in-crease,
the actual budget cannot
be stated until a final review can
be had.
One of the principals items is
lighting, and as the auditorium
lighting has proven to be so sat-iisfactory
it is felt that the same
type of lightiaig would be very ad-vantageouss
in the classrooms.
The decorating of the auditori-um
and the painting of the new
iron staircase is expected to be
finished during the Easter vaca-tion
so that the auditorium and
staircase will Ibe completed in
time for the graduation exercises.
The budget will be presented to
the voter of the ditrict at the an-nual
school meeting on May th.
Mr. James Amendola and Mr. Fred
Kramer, Trustees, will complete
