    School chiefs want part of extra revenue

    When County Executive Joel A. Giambra unveiled his plan for the county to keep the sales tax revenue that schools now get, a collective groan went up from school administrators.


    Thirty suburban school superintendents took the unprecedented step last week of adopting a resolution opposing the plan. Their main objection was that residents would vote down the school budgets in May once they saw their tax rates go up.

    Yet, as universal and as adamant as the schools' opposition is, it turns out there is something that could change their minds: money.
    School officials say a few million dollars, to be divided among all the districts, would likely bring about a change of heart.

    School Superentendents may be the 'enemy' but the School Boards are 'evil'. That's where it all begins.
