I have utilized numerous libraries, a few of which were County-operated. No library provides more personalized services, or better computers and books than our Library, bar none.

While I am acutely aware of the need to balance our town budget, there are some aspects of life that can’t be measured in dollars. Our City needs a responsive, sensitive library, just as much as we need Ball Fields.

Reduce service hours, close on Wednesday, assign our Police to insure night time security, charge me $50 annually, but please, please do not cede our Gloucester City Library to the County political machine.

After the School Election results were read and the four board members were sworn in, there were officer and delegate nominations.

The two nominations for president were Hagan and Louisa Llewellyn.

The Board chose Llewellyn, six votes to two, making her the Board President.

Edward Hubbs, the only nominee, was voted in as Vice President. The remaining delegate positions are on a volunteer basis, and will be announced at the May 4 meeting.

Prior to the meeting being adjourned to Executive Session, Board members went over some important issues relating to the current school year, as well as 2010-11. The following were addressed:

Gloucester City was approved for $45,000 in business travel expenses, which means that the maximum reimbursement for business travel will be $1,500 per employee.

The current transportation contract will stay in place for 2010-11.

Governor Chris Christie has mandated that employees will contribute 1.5 percent of their pay to cover health care benefits, with the option to pay before or after taxes. This should begin around May 22.

The Gloucester City PTA, Gloucester City summer camps, and slam wrestling were all approved to use space at The Cold Springs elementary school.

Board members said 24 students from the Senior High and 16 students from the Junior High school that will be inducted into the Honor Society, and that Montclair University will be sending representatives to observe two students from Gloucester High.

President Llewellyn said Gloucester City was one of the finest school districts in the state, and that with the current budget approval it shows that the voters have \”faith in our district.\”

BOE meetings are open to the public. The next one will be Tuesday, May 4, at 7 p.m. in the Media Center at Gloucester High.
