LINDENHURST, NY — Residents in the Lindenhurst School District will head to the polls next week to cast their ballots for a proposed school budget and to elect school board trustees. Polls will be open on May 18 from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. at Albany Avenue Elementary School, Daniel Street Elementary School, Harding Avenue Elementary School, William Rall Elementary School, and Lindenhurst Middle School. The Board of Education is proposing a $173.1 million budget for the 2021-22 school year. That represents a 1.67 percent spending increase over the current year and it comes with a 0.98 percent hike in the school tax levy. Also on the ballot will be whether or not to approve a proposition to allocate $1.1 million for several projects such as the toilet reconstruction at the middle and high school, and exterior window replacements at Daniel Street Elementary School. Three at-large seats are up for grabs on the Lindenhurst Board of Education. Incumbents Kevin Garbe, Mary Ellen Cunningham, and Donna Hochman will all be running unopposed.
