TRANSCRIPT
2012-13 BUDGET
A sound, basic education for all
Our Mission
“…we recognized that by mandating a school system ‘wherein all the children of this state may be educated,’ the State has obligated itself constitutionally to ensure the availability of a ‘sound basic education’ to all its children.”
-Court of Appeals Decision – June 26, 2003
Campaign for Fiscal Equity v. The State of New York
Quotes
� “I think the inequity in education is probably the civil rights issue of our time. There are two education systems in this state. Not public and private. One for the rich and one for the poor and they’re both public systems.”
� “Mr. Cuomo also committed to redistributing state school aid from wealthy, politically powerful suburban school districts and sending more dollars to high-need rural and urban schools, saying the governor had a duty to be “the great equalizer.”
Who was the speaker for both?
Andrew Cuomo in 2010

� Total Hlth & Retrmnt Incr = $ 595,500
� Projected Salary Incr = $ 223,000
� Total Major Cost Drivers = $ 818,500
In Summary
� We need to cut at least $800,000 to bring in a budget of approximately $20,500,000.
� This budget amount is estimated to be within the tax cap limit.
2012-13 BUDGET Budgets Cuts vs. Use of Reserves
� Deferring Budget Cuts compounds the problem in each succeeding year
– Adjust 2012-13 budget as much as possible to create a lower base budget for following years.
� Limit increase use of Reserves in a year when State Aid is increased
– Current Scenario has 5.8% increase of Reserves to fund budget in 2012-13
Potential Cuts-Right-sizing
� .6 English
� .8 Science
� .4 Social Studies
� 1 Special Education (may not be a job loss if students brought back to district)
� .5 Groundskeeper

Other Potential Cuts
� Cut all field trips except end of the year 4th, 8th and 12th grade celebrations.
� Only have one modified team in soccer and basketball.
� Look at implementing bus stops on the 5-12 run.
Next Steps
� We are within $100,000 of being within the tax cap limit.
� We can wait and see if the aid picture changes.
� We can wait to see if there are any retirements (3/17 deadline).
� We can decide to over ride the tax cap limit.
Tax Cap Limit
Within the tax cap limit-simple majority
Estimated Levy increases 2.8%
Estimated Rate increases 1.28%
Does the Board want to consider over-riding the tax cap limit?
