WPCNR SCHOOL DAYS. March 19,2010: White Plains Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Christopher Clouet told WPCNR moments ago that "At this point we are not considering raising our budget. We are sincere in seeking to lower our costs and serving the needs of kids."

Clouet was aware of the new proposed legislation allowing districts to go with a 3% increase (allowed by Assembly Bill 10130 which in Section 7, changes the contingency budget formula in 2010-11 only to generate an allowed budget increase of 3%), but said the district is not considering the advantage that bill, should it be enacted and signed, would give to the district.

The public has the opportunity to comment on the preliminary school budget Monday evening at Education House at 7:30 P.M.
