Criticized for having an excessive fund balance, Port Jervis School District Superintendent John Bell defended the practice saying it would save taxpayer money, according to a Dec. 5 public letter on the district website.  
The letter came on the heels of a new audit by the New York state Comptroller’s Office, which found the district maintained a fund balance three to five times the statutory limit in the past four years.
