Mahopac schools get ‘death penalty for jay-walking,’ says superintendent

[GOYABEAN]

MAHOPAC – The state legislature has approved a bill to provide the Mahopac School District with state aid resulting from an administrative error made in the Thomas Manko administration during the 2011-2012 school year.

The measure introduced in the State Senate by Senator Peter Harckham and in the lower house by Assemblyman Kevin Byrne was approved with bi-partisan support and now awaits the governor’s signature.

If he refuses to sign the legislation, Putnam County’s largest school district may lose $5.9 million.

The chain of events was revealed in April when Mahopac’s current Superintendent Anthony DiCarlo reported a state filing was not submitted on time eight years ago that followed the approval of a referendum for several capital projects.

“The state has issued a penalty against the district for the clerical error which is unfortunate and not the right thing to do – an action that will hurt students, teachers, programs and the greater Mahopac community in general,” said DiCarlo.

Hopefully this will just turn more people against the demoncrats, although mahopac is largely right of center.
