East Rockaway school district reinstates late bus

Earlier this week, according to Superintendent Roseanne Melucci, an elementary teacher resigned for the purpose of retirement, allowing funds to become available for the much-talked-about 'late bus' for private school students.

"We will reallocate the savings from the replacement teacher’s salary toward the parochial school late bus," she said, adding that the parents have been notified.

Not everything has been reinstated and the remaining cuts include:

After School Security Guard; Arts in Education; Clubs; Custodial position; three elementary teachers; elementary librarian; 6th grade outdoor educational program (Greenkill) Assistant Principal; monitors; occupational education placement; professional development; and the Grade two Sprouts program.
