Charge:

Candidate asks the Board of Regents to withhold building aid

By TOM KANE

CALLICOON — School board candidate Arthur Norden has accused school officials—administration and school board members—of deceiving voters in presenting the new budget.

“Some seven million dollars is hidden in the budget in order to make payment for the present renovations and construction,” Norden said in a May 14 interview.

Earlier this year, Norden took his case to the state educational system by asking that building aid be withheld from the district. In a January letter to the State Board of Regents, Norden wrote, “Clearly our school district has no need for all of this state-aided construction which includes the complete renovation of our existing K-12’s as K-6’s and a new 1,345,000-square-foot high school which is going out to bid this month [January]”.
