Preview: Amity Board of Ed Meeting Tonight
The meeting, just over a week before school starts, will cover finance and personnel.

Two special Amity Board of Education meetings Monday night will all but herald the new school year with a flurry of announcements and discussion, much of it focusing on finance.
A 5:30 p.m. finance committee meeting will precede the regular Board of Education meeting, at 6:30 p.m. in the Presentation Room of the District Offices at 25 Newton Road in Woodbridge.
