STATEMENT REGARDING PROPOSITION 6
SCHOOL BUDGET VOTE MAY 2025
Earlier this year, the Franklin Square Museum submitted a PROPOSITION, allocating the sum of $45,000 for the support of educational programs at the Museum (known as Proposition 6) in accordance with New York State Education Law.
As a result of deliberate misinformation, this proposition has regrettably caused division in our community. Since its founding in 1976, the Museum has always been a focus of pride and unity in Franklin Square, and must always remain so.
THEREFORE, the Franklin Square Museum Board hereby withdraws Proposition 6 from consideration during the May 2025 budget vote.
The Museum will continue to stand by the merits of the proposition but believes it is in the best interests of the community as a whole to withdraw it from consideration at this time. We thank the many citizens who have expressed their support, and we resolve to continue serving our students with high-quality educational experiences delivered by our all-volunteer licensed professional staff.
