The Hempstead school board will hold a special election on Oct. 28 ["Sad bid to regain power over Hempstead schools," Editorial, Oct. 1]. One week later, Nov. 4, is the conventional Election Day.
Two elections a week apart seem an incredible waste of money that could be put to better use benefiting the students.
