FAIR HAVEN BOE BARELY GETS WITHIN CAP
By DUSTIN RACIOPPI
With the help of partially restored state aid, Fair Haven’s Board of Education is bringing its budget just within the two-percent cap for the 2011-’12 school year.
The $12.2 million plan $11.8 million of it to be raised through local taxes includes $184,807 in state aid, a $90,000 boost from the current school year’s aid, which was slashed significantly.
“We definitely had a lot of cuts on the table, so it was a very happy day when we found out we’d get some state aid back,” Superintendent Kathi Cronin said Monday night, when presenting an overview of the budget to the borough council.
