While we're waiting...

I sent a second email to Elaine Cappucci asking where the superintendent's contract will be posted on the MTLSD website yesterday and have not received a reply. Per her email sent to me on Monday, This just in UPDATED, the contract was going to be posted this week. Likewise, the Superintendent Goals for the new school year have yet to be seen. I don't understand why things take so long with the school district. The Board meeting reports from the President and the Superintendent stop in August. Meanwhile, the Municipality seems to have a less than 24 hour turnaround time.

While we're waiting, a Lebo Citizens reader sent me a local government management guide published by the New York State Comptroller's Office, Local Government and School Accountability Division,
Financial Condition Analysis.

Another Lebo Citizens reader sent me this information, which is disappointing.

You may remember all the hype about the property tax relief homeowners were going to get from legalized gambling in Pennsylvania.  Well, here are the actual dollars saved per each home in Mt. Lebanon after the politicians finished carving out their slice of the pie for their department in Harrisburg. These are the folks the school board keeps begging for money.
