It's the final countdown! Full disclosure: we took a one week pause from the podcast last week as we were dealing with a personal issue and we needed a breather but George and Suzanne are back to wrap things up heading into the election and budget vote on May 20, 2025 at ther Howitt Middle School Aquatic Center from 6am-9pm. The team does a dive into the budget and they share their final thoughts with the community. Let's get to the polls and make our voices heard, Farmingdale!

EDITORIAL UPDATE: The episode notes that 50 teachers took part in the district's retirement incentive. It was actually 50 employees (across multiple bargaining units) that took part in the retirement incentive. As noted in the episode, out of the 50 individuals that took part only 40 people were rehired in their place.

Hosted by community leader and FHS Wall of Famer George Andriopoulos and Vice-President and 3-term FSD Board of Ed trustee Suzanne D'Amico.
