School Board to Meet on Tuesday
The Riverhead Central District School Board will hold its regular meeting on Tuesday January 10 in the High School cafeteria.  The Board will first meet in executive session at 6 pm and then in public at 7 pm that same evening.


Board Agenda Fires Contractor
Included in the School Board agenda for Tuesday wail be a recommendation to terminate the contract of M.H. Kane for repairs and installation of new doors at various locations in the school system.  The Superintendent and the Board indicate dissatisfaction with the quality of the work as performed by contractor M.H. Kane and will seek approval to terminate the $500,000 agreement between the School District and M. H. Kane.


Budget Pledge
The School Board and members have pledged (sort of) to prepare a budget for the 2012-2013 school year year that remains below the state mandated 2% increase cap while also working for the needs of the students.
There had been discussion, in some quarters, that the Board would find ways to go around the 2% cap as mandated by the Governor.  This could only be accomplished by issuing a referendum whereby a minimum of 60% of the residents approved exceeding the cap.


Donations from Lowes
Lowes, the home improvement warehouse store that is just about to open on route 58 has donated 148 pieces of lumber to the School District
