The preliminary budget for the2014-2015 school year was the hottopic at the March 19 VoorheesBoard of Education meeting.

The board did not solidify num-bers, but estimated taxes forVoorhees resident will increasefrom last year.

There will be around a two-cent tax increase total, assistantsuperintendent and business/board secretary Dr. Frank T. De-Berardinis said.

According to DeBerardinis

calculations, the two centsadded up to about $60 per year inincreased taxes per average as-sessed residence. Generally

speaking, DeBerardinis saidtaxes could, go up about 1 per-cent from last year.

By budgeting to a 2 percent capand increasing taxes, the boardestimated the total tentative budg-et to be $52,755,049. The board alsomotioned the transfer of $1.5 mil-lion in previously unused capitalreserve to be used for debt servic-es and projects happening duringthe upcoming school year.

Though the exact total was notspecified, one project mentionedwas the replacement of the HVACsystem at Osage ElementarySchool. The lowest qualified bid-

der listed for completion of theproject was Gaudelli Brothers,Inc.

The board estimated a total of

$19,084.97 of budget funds beingused for registration and travel-related expenses.

Other totals have not been so-lidified, but the board mentionedplans to start further digitalizingtextbooks as a priority in the nextfew years.

A transition from textbooks todigital its just moving moneyfrom one account to another, De-Berardinis said.

Board members seemed en-thused by the idea of Voorheesstudents becoming even more ex-pert when it comes to using tech-nology.

Its really fun to see the transi-tion from kids using textbooks toiPads, DeBerardinis said.

As far as state funding was con-cerned, the board mentioned nostate aid increases from last year.

Were on our own prettymuch, DeBerardinis said.

Parents are encouraged to at-tend the final budget hearing andthe annual district reorganiza-tion meeting, which will occur onMay 7 at 7:30 p.m. in the VoorheesTownship Administration Build-ing.

In other news: In the superintendents re-

port, the last day of school wasannounced as June 27. It was alsoannounced that June 26 will be anearly dismissal day for all publicschools.

Alexis Bondy, a Temple Uni-versity student, received approvalto complete 150 hours of appliedbehavior analysis practicum ex-perience in township schools,

until the conclusion of the springsemester. Alexis Schmidt of

Millersville University will pro-vide substitute teaching servicesthroughout the district until theend of the year, in exchange for 62college credits and the standardpay rate of $80 for each full day of work.

A motion to approve unpaidchildbearing leave was granted toteacher Julie Lenthe, for the firstmarking period of the upcomingschool year.

Retirements for teachersMargie White, Barbara Hubbard,Mary Jane Bionelli, Eileen Roset-ti, Lois Siebert and ChristinaHoffman were approved.

awmakers in Trenton are at itagain, proposing new taxes topay for something the state ap-

parently cant afford. This time,theyre after gas, proposing to increasethe tax on it by five cents per gallon tohelp rebuild and repair New Jerseys

roads and bridges.Our initial response, when reading

this news, was you have to be kid-ding! The last thing we need in thisstate is to be taxed more, and here goesanother politician specifically stateSen. Raymond Lesniak this time put-ting forth a bill that would take moremoney out of our pockets.

Lesniak claims that the proposedtax increase would bring in about $250million a year for road repairs that aremuch-needed, and his research indi-cates that 40 percent of this sum

would come from out-of-state drivers.He also claims that the five-cent tax

increase would cost the average driverless than $100 more in gas each year.Hes probably right on that figure 15gallons per week, times five cents is 75cents, times 52 weeks is $39.

The point, though, is that its notabout the relatively low impact on res-

idents wallets; its the fact that theresan impact at all.

Sure, $39 extra per year isnt a lot of money when you put it in perspec-tive thats two movie tickets, a pop-

corn and two drinks nowadays. Butthe fact that New Jersey residentshave to pay ANY extra tax on gasseems absurd to us.

When you combine a higher gas taxwith probable increases in municipaltaxes, school taxes and county taxes,

what you get is a snowball situationthat, over time, makes it financiallyunbearable to live in this state.

For once, our politicians shouldlearn a tried and true practice thatthey seem to ask us all to do to help outin times of need its called budget-ing. Our elected leaders need to domore with what they have. Cut thewaste, and be more efficient with whatwe have already given them.

Enough is enough when it comes totaxes. Its time for lawmakers to stepup and prove why we elected them.

in our opinion

Pay for road s with gas?Stop taxing the r esidents and start managing the bud get

Registration is required for up-coming library events, but allevents are free to Voorhees resi-dents looking to have someunique fun at the library thisspring.

For the first time, the Voorhees

Library, located at 203 LaurelRoad, is hosting the Big Play Dateevent. The event is set to takeplace on March 29, from 10:30 a.m.to 1 p.m.

Its going to be amazing,Emily Moore, head of Youth Serv-ices at the library, said.

Moore listed two key goals of the Big Play Date. The first is toshow people that a lot of fun canhappen at the library, even on aSaturday. The second objective isfor caretakers and parents toleave with a plethora of inexpen-sive ideas and ways to encouragefun and development, for childrenages 1 to 3.

You dont have to have all thelatest educational toys to encour-age development in your child. Icant think of a better way tospend a morning, having mean-

ingful fun with your child andconnecting with your communityat the library, Moore said.


As outdoor activi-ties increase with thearrival of warmer

weather, so does thechances of encounter-ing animals. TheCamden County De-partment of Healthand Human Servicesreminds you to avoidany contact with un-known animals due to the threat of ra-bies.

Although rabies is a serious andsometimes fatal illness, its effects can beprevented by early treatment. The dis-

ease is spread to humans through thebite of an infected animal, or muchmore rarely through exposure to thesaliva of that animal.

If you have been bitten or scratchedby a wild animal it is important that youseek immediate medical attention toprevent the onset of the disease. Indi-viduals who have been exposed to arabid animal usually receive a series of injects in the deltoid (shoulder) at pre-scribed intervals. Prompt medical atten-tion after being bitten or exposed to adiseased animal is essential to an indi-viduals recovery.

I urge you to protect your family, yourpets and yourself from rabies by observ-ing a few simple rules. First and fore-most, please be a responsible pet ownerand keep rabies vaccinations up to datefor all dogs, cats, and ferrets. You shouldalso keep your pets under direct super-vision so they do not come in contactwith wild animals.

If your pet is bitten by a wild animal,you should seek immediate veterinaryassistance for the animal. Always con-tact your local animal control agency toremove any stray animals from yourneighborhood. They may be unvacci-nated and could be infected by the dis-ease.

It is very important to avoid directcontact with unfamiliar animals. Teach

your children that theyshould never handle un-familiar animals, wild

or domestic, even if they seem friendly.Never adopt wild ani-mals or bring them intoyour home. Do not tryto nurse sick animals tohealth. Always call ani-mal control or an ani-

mal rescue agency for assistance. Besure to know the animal control num-ber in your municipality.

Enjoy wild animals such as raccoons,skunks, and foxes from a distance. Do

not handle, feed, or unintentionally at-tract wild animals with open garbagecans or liter. Prevent bats from enteringliving quarters or occupied spaces inhomes, churches, schools and other sim-ilar areas where they might come incontact with people or pets.

In addition to avoiding direct contactwith wild animals, be especially carefularound dogs when traveling abroad. Ra-bies is common in developing countriesin Asia, Africa, and Latin America.Tens of thousands of people die of ra-bies each year in these regions.

You can learn more about rabies onthe Centers for Disease Control and Pre-vention website:www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dvrd/rabies or theNew Jersey Department of Health andHuman Services site:www.state.nj.us/health/cd/rabies/index.shtml.
