Someone should ask the 2 Superintendents above if they are cutting into their marrow? Or salary, I should say. The 2% tax cap is one that was put in place in order to help alleviate huge tax increases upon the taxpayers. We are overburdened with the HUGE salaries and pension plans that the administrators of each of our school districts get paid. Am I anti- teacher, NO WAY.... But they work approximately 180 days a year and make an annual salary worthy of those that work YEAR ROUND. Then add in their pensions, WOW..... Its no wonder that we have a glut of professionally trained teachers looking for a job...... Governor Cuomo has said many time that we should be hiring Superintendents for 175K and under, which is MORE than reasonable pay for the position. In Bellmore-Merrick the taxpayers have to hire one for each elementary district and one for the high school district. This is absurd. Put it this way, when we cannot afford to pay more taxes and the pensions and salaries continue at this pace, LITTLE HOUSE on the prairie one school districts will be the rule.

When does it in.
