Here's an email from a sharp eyed parent who apparently had some time to look over the October business meeting minutes.
Anyone have any answers?
Thank you Marlys Mihok! Now each month we can look over the check register and see exactly where our money goes.
Does anyone know why the PSBA conference expenses for Dr Yonson and Mrs Mihok are different? In check 35075, entry 1888 for Dr Yonson is for $199.00. Entry 1887 for Mrs Mihok is $315.00. Why is there a $116.00 difference?
Then there's the entries for legal services. In check 35133, entry 2038 is for $108.00 to Begley, Carlin marked "bond issue defasance". Ignoring the spelling error, I thought defeasance was a done deal. Why are we incurring any more expenses?
Then there's check 35202 to Sweet, Stevens, Katz and Williams for special education legal fees for $878.11. Was that in the original budget? What services were cut to pay for this?
How about check 35120? That's twenty lunches for the pre-K students for twenty days. That's 400 lunches for $1000.00, or $2.50 per lunch. I'm told the high school lunches are $2.50 each. Are the elementary lunches the same price? Even if they are .25 cents cheaper, that would save $100.00

Elementary lunches went from $2.25 last year to $2.50 this year.
If my calculations are correct, the extra $116.00 that Marlys spent at the PSBA meeting could have bought the borough an additional 1.5 tons of road salt at $76.95/ton, even more if the borough had "shopped around" (sorry, Smokey).
Is Marlys still pocketing her stipend as Board Secretary too, or is she donating it to the 501(c)(3)? I'd ask Marlys herself, but I'm kinda looking for the truth.
So, I guess the cost for the bond defeasement is now $2,449,108, and counting.
