Mat-Ab board needs dose of financial reality

My husband and I have lived in Aberdeen nearly 25 years and have paid taxes to support its school system.

I applaud Joseph Fenimore's guest column in your July 19 issue, for I believe the Matawan-Aberdeen Board of Education could use a dose of financial reality. Are their expenditures warranted? I don't think so.

I also believe the salaries of the top brass, i.e., superintendent, etc., are way out of line with what they should be paid.

It is a sad but true fact that fiscal mismanagement by the BOE is negatively impacting taxpayers. Are test scores impressive for this school system? Do they have Olympic athletes in the making? I wonder.
