More hearings to follow before Election Day on April 17.
The Board of Education of the School District of the Chathams holds a public hearing unveiling the 2012-13 school budget Monday at 6:30 p.m. Included in the budget is an additional sum of $429,000 in aid from the state this year, bringing the total of state aid to $1,871,941. Peter Daquila, the business administrator for the district, said "the additional funds should allow the district to maintain and potentially expand the services offered to the students." Among the programs Chatham High School Principal Darren Groh wants to expand is the Chinese program, which is currently in its second year at Chatham High and Chatham Middle School. Groh wants to offer a third year of Chinese in the 2012-13 school year. Science electives will be …

Resident opposed to move: 'We don't follow the crowd in this town.'
After more than an hour of public comments mostly against moving the school board elections to November, the Board of Education of the School District of the Chathams took no action on the issue, keeping the elections in April for at least another year. Board Member Steve Barna made a motion that the board vote on the resolution, but no other board member seconded the motion. The resolution has been tabled for future consideration, likely not to come before next year, in accordance with the wishes of many Chatham residents who spoke at the meeting. The deadline for deciding to move this year's election is Feb. 17. Many residents expressed concerns over the wording of the bill passed by the state legislature and signed by Gov. Chris …

The Board of Education will vote on whether to hold school votes in November at their Monday night meeting.
Chathamites concerned with the future of school budget elections can make their opinions known Monday at 7 p.m. at the Board of Education meeting. Gov. Chris Christie signed a bill into law allowing school budgets to adhere by the same rules governing municipal budgets, removing them from the public vote if taxes are within the cap. The move can be made if the school board or municipal governments approve it, or if the public approves it by a vote. For this year, a decision must be made by Feb. 17. "There were very few nay votes on this in the legislature," said Dennis Fyffe, interim superintendent of the School District of the Chathams, "and Christie, who has made schools a major focus of [his first year] as governor, supported this and …
