HALEDON A $24.7 million proposed budget for Manchester Regional High School would cover the price of a turf field, but residents from one sending town want money allocated for that project to defray the tax levy instead.
The project s supporters, including the head football coach and school board president, said it would raise the profile of Manchester Regional, while residents of Prospect Park argue that its benefits are being overhyped.
The high school on Church Street has seen a marked decline in enrollment over the past several years because freshmen are opting to attend Passaic County Technical Institute in Wayne.
Manchester Regional has to pay for their tuition, and school officials expect to shell out $4.1 million for students to go to PCTI next year. That is why they are trying to be more competitive, they said.
I feel like I lost a relative, said Simi, 85, of North Haledon. It s going to be terrible not seeing him here.
Lillian Kabatabazi, 31, of Prospect Park said she emigrated from Uganda and found the perfect place to worship with her family. He s the father who baptized them, Kabatabazi said, pointing to her two children. We really miss him.
