    Paterson school district including the board should answer to taxpayers. Where are the funding going,come July 1 they will get more money than most towns every year there are lay-offs.
    Why is Trenton not looking into the budget problem here.
    14 percent increase . I don’t remember getting a 14 percent increase from my employer. Every tax payers should say something not just homeowners.
    This should be a crime as I think this is robbery.

    Don’t most towns put their schools budgets to vote? If approved by voters OK, if rejected Board works with Mayor and Council. State should def step in if budget is looking at 14% increase.
