The Board of Education had scheduled a court hearing for Tuesday to request an injunction giving the Board control of its own payroll system.
In the meantime, Mayor Sebastian Giuliano sent a letter to the Board demanding that all Board of Education fund disbursements will be handled at City Hall effective today, November 8.
UPDATE: After an appeal from the BOE, Judge Robert Holzberg, who has been hearing the lawsuit between the city and the BOE, issued a court order preventing Mayor Sebastian Giuliano's order to go into effect.
City attorney Tim Lynch said the city would uphold any order issued by the court.

Ahoy mateys! So it's pirates they are. Last week they were terrorists and this week they are pirates. Is this the best that the Mayor can do? Can anyone tell me the meaning of the language contained in the third paragraph of the Mayor's letter. It appears that there are words or phrases missing.I would have no idea how to respond to this letter even if I had a copy of Mr. Oliver's letter. Was this letter written by the Mayor? Don't they proof read anything that comes out of that office? If you review the letters that were sent to Board of Education employees "firing" them you will see the same unprofessional mistakes.At least it looks like this insanity is about to come to an end . I don't know about anyone else but I am tired of this. Now everyone can go to Court and spend more money but hopefully it will be over regardless of who the Court finds in favor of. By the way, it sure was nice of the City Attorney to agree to obey a court order. Did he have a choice? Maybe the Middletown Charter is such a powerful document it takes precedence over the Court system too.
And the Mayor taps his cleats with the bat in a nervous ritual and points a finger at the far left wall....This will be one for all those with little egos! Here is the pitch.And the player known as THE BULLY whiffs again....STRIKE TWO the judge,er,empire bellows out.The mayor is going down swinging! He is wrong in his judgement again.The Supt. is right again.And both sides have expensive lawyers at the Middletown taxpayers expense.
Stop wasting our tax dollars and get down to the business of working together for Middletown. SICK of seeing BoE and Mayors office on the news, embarrassing....and expensive.
