Governor’s Budget Proposal The Executive Budget includes $826 million in funding for
education over 2019-2020 amounts. This includes a $579 million (2.1%) increase in traditional formula-based school aid, which includes $504 million in Foundation Aid.
The proposal includes the consolidation of 10 expense-based aids into Foundation Aid. This is VERY BAD for several reasons.
Certain building aid adjustments for projects approved on or after 7/1/2020.
Multiple adjustments to the existing transportation aid formula.
NYC Charter Schools would see an increase of 5.3%.
Open Items – Expenditures
Kindergarten Registration (currently estimated at 2019-20 levels)
KPCTA Contract Negotiations
Potential additional considerations as we continue through the budget development cycle
Open Items – Revenue Tax Levy:
Budgetary decisions may impact the levy throughout the budget process
Currently we are projecting a 3.5% levy increase
Calculating the allowable levy increase is a multistep process with exemptions
Capital expenditures such as bus purchases are exempt from the levy cap
State Aid:
Currently, we are working from the Governor’s budget proposal, which only includes a $34,265 (0.25%) increase in Foundation Aid
The Legislative Proposal typically provides a little more state aid than the executive budget
Overall Status as of Second Draft
A few important variables are still outstanding at this time.
It is our goal to:
Propose a tax levy increase that is within the tax cap limitations
Maintain the curriculum and programs that support academic excellence and the District’s mission
Maintain extracurricular activities, art, music, and sports
Overall Status as of Second Draft To maintain what we currently have, we need to close
a gap of $314,787
How will we close this gap?
Continue to review expenditures and look for additional efficiency areas
Additional state aid increases???
Evaluate amount of applied fund balance
Evaluate the need to spend reserves
This is a cyclical process, and it is our hope that this gap will continue to decrease
Past & Current Efficiencies “Green” initiative
Energy performance contract (EPC II & III)
Upgraded, more efficient boilers
New windows at WTRMS
Propane buses
Paperless initiative (paper + postage)
