Question of the Day: Will You Vote for the School Budget?

Will you be heading to the polls today?

A common concern over the years within the East Meadow School District has been a lack of turnout when it comes time to vote for the school budget.

This year, unlike many other districts, East Meadow has avoided the excessing of teachers, cutting of programs and extreme increase in the tax levy. This is thanks to the "rainy day fund" that the district had.

On Tuesday, residents of the district have the opportunity to come out and vote, but a common misconception is that it may be a waste of time because all races are uncontested. That leads to today's question of the day.
