You may recall about 3 years ago, the Hamburg Central School District revealed that it was in a near $2 million debt. This financial news was kept secret for a long time, then dropped like a bombshell on the community.


When the new superintendent, Dr. Crawford, took over he promised a "new era" of transparency. Unfortunately, Dr. Crawford and the School Board are no different than their predecessors. Insiders recently found out that the district missed a filing deadline for transportation funding. The district missed out on a $1.4 million reimbursement. Yet, has the public heard about this news? Nothing in any of the local media or board minutes.

The public should demand answers from Dr. Crawford and the School Board. Those is supervisory positions should be held accountable for this significant error.
