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)

Personnel efficiencies and reductions

Transportation study & reductions

Refinancing of existing debt

Going “out to market” for various insurance and medical benefits
