Questions were raised, however, over whether the District 15 budget, with a $300,000 deficit in the current year, could absorb the costs and whether the school would be sufficiently racially and economically mixed.%u201cThis will not serve all the children in the district; it will be more for affluent children,%u201d said board member Peggy Buffalano. Citing budget constraints, she said, %u201cI don%u2019t want to hire another person.%u201dMember Norman Fruchter, who voted for the feasibility study, said that while %u201cfunding is a problem,%u201d the board would be %u201ccommitted to recruiting students who are racially and economically mixed.%u201d In addition, Fruchter said, children who are performing below grade level would benefit greatly. %u201cThese are the children who do not do well in traditional classrooms.%u201d Members of the audience applauded his statement and the board voted 6 to 2 to approve the resolution.The board also voted 7 to 1 to implement a fourth grade Bilingual Gifted Program at the beginning of September 1987 in P.S. 1 in Sunset Park. The program would serve as a magnet for students in all parts of the district.In other resolutions, the board resolved unanimously to accept funding of $25,000 from the State Education Department for a Cultural Enrichment Program at P.S. 261 on Pacific Street and for P.S. 38. Funds were also accepted to house a two-way Bilingual program for the 86-87 year at $82,774 for P.S. 1 in Sunset Park. Renewed funding of $147,453 was approved for a Title 7 Bilogo Project to service limited-English proficient students at P.S. 38, P.S. 169 on 7th Ave., and JHS 51 on 5th Ave. A Title 7 Early Childhood/Parent Outreach Project was also refunded for $163,081 at four other schools. In addition, theboard resolved unanimously to be responsible for any deficits incurred from Cobble Hill%u2019s P.S. 29 After School Drop-off program beginning Feb. 2,1987.Absent from the regular December meeting of the board was member Philip Kaplan.Incinerator UncertainThe future of the controversial Resource Recovery Plant in the Brooklyn Navy Yard is still uncertain. The State Department of Conservation is awaiting a decision on its appeal of a lawsuit filed last July by the New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG) that halted the State%u2019s public hearings on the incinerator due to a conflict of interest concerning the judge presiding over the summer hearings.The public hearings were held to receive testimony on six permit applications filed by Signal Environmental Systems Inc., the company contracted to construct and operate the steam producing garbage incinerator. The State Supreme Court ruled that a conflict existed involving administrative law judge, Jeffrey Cohen, because of an arrangement whereby Signal would pay the State up to $63,000 for the services of the judge.Although the hearings have been halted until a decision is issued in the Appellate Court, on Nov. 21, Cohen issued a ruling saying that submissions for organizations wishing party status in the state%u2019s public hearings were being accepted as well as submissions on what issues should be addressed at the hearings. Any organization wishing to testify at the public hearings must apply for party status.%u201cThe proceeding is continuing although the hearings cannot be held,%u201d said John Moore from the Department of Conservation. %u201cCohen is currently engaged in the preliminary work but we are awaiting a decision to continue with the hearings,%u201d he added.The decision in the Appellate Court is expected to be announced within the next few months. In the meantime, according to Moore, Cohen will determine what groups receive party status and what issues will be addressed. %u2014 L.K.Merry ChristmasTo All and AProsperous New Yearin 1987from all of us at theBrooklyn Heights Deli292 Henry S t. 643-1361for flower lovers87 PINEAPPLE WALKBROOKLYN HEIGHTSNEW YORK 11201855-4714f FULL SERVICESALONS189 Henry Street624-474043 Clark Street596-8505 aBEST CLEANERS, INC.Best W ishes ForThe Happiest OfHoliday SeasonsfromThe Cafe Carousel121 Livingston S t797-5551%u2022 Mr. Joe %u2022The Finest in Dry CleaningSuede and Leather SpecialistsCustom Tailoring1X5 Henry Street Brooklyn, N .Y . 11201 875-2193Montague RealtyPersonal & Professionals Real Estate ServicesPeace t Happiness %u2022 Houses %u2022%u2022 co-ops %u2022 rentals*154 Montague S t.
