FROM EXPRESS TIMES

At least one Nazareth Area School Board member thought tonight that more could be done to save taxpayers from a 2.3 percent hike in the final 2014-15 school budget.

Board member Linda Stubits was the lone member to vote against the $73.9 million spending plan in a 7-1 vote this evening. Stubits said after the meeting more "creative ways" could be considered to offset the tax burden, such as grants, partnerships with businesses and soliciting bids for purchases across all areas.
