– State Aid– Mandate Relief
• Budget Recommendations for Technology, Guidance, Athletics, and Pupil Personnel Services

Tonight’s Agenda
Proposed overall budget:$112,597,126
Budget to budget increase:$1,769,682 or 1.60%
Projected tax levy increase (with STAR):
1.35% Maximum Allowable Tax Levy:
1.35 %
5
Why Did the Budget-to-Budget Figure Increase?
• Considering new capital projects---ADA-accessible bathrooms at HS– Funding identified from previous capital projects completed
below budgeted figures– Balances in some of the projects brought into 2017-18 budget
as revenue and used to increase the appropriated fund balance for the coming school year
– This enables the school district to increase the transfer to capital line without impacting the tax levy
– Both the increase in the transfer to capital expense line and the increase in the appropriated fund balance are one-time occurrences and therefore have no impact on the tax cap calculation or the tax levy

The State Aid Picture• Other than property taxes, state aid is the biggest source of revenue for the school
district.• The actual state aid figure for 2017-18 is not yet known: the budget proposal is based
solely upon the Executive Budget presented by Governor Cuomo.• Traditionally, the state legislature has made adjustments to the school aid figures
presented by the governor. • The Governor’s proposed budget includes a very small increase in Foundation Aid, the
basic state grant. • There is a statewide debate concerning Foundation Aid, with much attention focused
on redirecting the aid to high needs districts.• No consideration is given to the cost-of-living on Long Island.• The school district will never recoup the funds lost over the years due to the Gap
Elimination Adjustment.• Without adequate state aid, the school district will be challenged to provide funding
for staff development, curriculum development, academic support, and other initiatives devoted to making sure our students master the high quality, rich curriculum required to be career and college ready and be prepared for productive roles in their community.
