Roger Blaugh weighed in this week on a recent Southampton School District BOE meeting held at the Rogers Memorial Library, which was intended to inform the public about the plan to merge the district with the Tuckahoe District. “Throughout the BOE's 90-minute meeting, I noticed that members of the Board of Education were not fully able to answer the many questions and concerns of Southampton's taxpayers,” Blaugh writes. “Such an exhaustive level of frustration grew in the room, that order had to be called to keep taxpayers from jumping out of their own skins.” Click the headline to read the rest of the blog and weigh in yourself.
