Page 3 April 24, 2018 PUBLIC HEARING ON THE 2018-2019 SCHOOL BUDGET: Presentation in Budget. OPENED TO PUBLIC: Meeting was opened to public at 8:25 pm. Re: Public Hearing on the Budget. Sheri Liepe, Attales Teacher, noted there is a lack of technology knowledge with the 8 th grade students. Not having a full time technology teacher in the Attales School will not help. Ms. Liepe expressed concern with reduction in the hours of some teaching staff in next year s budget. Expressed concern of the movement of teachers between grade levels. Samir Patel, 9 Ruth Court, commented that it seems like we are sacrificing K-8 to pay for high school. Can we ask parents to pay part of the high school tuition? Rose Guerrera, Marsh Teacher, asked about tuition paid to Pleasantville High School, and questioned the fairness of receiving our tuition and state aid. Robert Broomhead, Attales Teacher, spoke about a visit to Representatives Mazzeo and Amadeo, by himself and other teachers to discuss our school funding situation. Encouraged all staff, parents and residents to make a phone call or write a letter regarding the need to fully fund Absecon schools. Jackie Akeret, Attales Teacher, also attended the meeting with Mr. Broomhead, added they the District s socioeconomic rating in relation to our school funding will be reviewed. Laura Oliver, 1 Tremont Avenue, the purchase of textbooks or services is not worth a reduction of teaching staff. Stacey Harris, 305 Cynwyd Ave, commented students should not have to worry about losing a teacher. Teachers are more impactful than a textbook or a computer. Tracy Swain, Marsh Teacher, noted the climate/students needs has changed dramatically. We need to be able to provide services to meet students needs. Expressed concern about the reduction of staff. Gerald Hoenes, 740 Shelburne Avenue, our representatives in Trenton need to be aware of what funding issues are affecting Absecon Public Schools.
