This Week In West Hempstead – The School Budget Vote

This Week In West Hempstead – The School Budget Vote: It’s time again for our annual sit-down with the school district as we take a closer look at the upcoming school budget ahead of the Tuesday, May 19th vote at the secondary school.
We discuss transportation costs, enrollment trends, and the continuing uncertainty surrounding state aid from Albany, as the state budget still has not been finalized by the legislature.
School Board President Karen Brohm and Assistant Superintendent for Business and Operations Brian Phillips join us to break down this year’s outlook, the challenges facing the district, and what residents should know before heading to the polls.
