Property Taxes - Why are they high?

For comparison analysis we used all districts in Wayne-Finger Lakes region and benchmark districts:

❖ Penfield❖ Geneseo❖ Honeoye

Falls-Lima❖ Avon

Questions asked during tax collectionDoes the district spend too much? Does the district have too much staff?

Questions asked during tax collectionDoes the district stash too much cash?

Then why?

Main revenue streams for the district are….

❖ State Aid

❖ Property taxes

Foundation Aid - Main component of State AidFoundation Aid Formula

● Foundation Amount: Cost of educating students in successful schools

● Pupil Needs: Free and Reduced Price Lunch (FRPL), English Learners (ELL), Census Poverty ( 2000 Census/ Small Area income and Poverty Estimates (SAIPE)

● Regional Cost: Variation among professional salaries by labor Force Region

● Local Contribution: An expected level of local spending based on district wealth

● Definition: TAFPU - total aidable foundation pupil units

FOUNDATION AMOUNT

REGIONAL COST

PUPIL NEEDS

District Wealth

Foundation Aid distribution principles don’t work for Gananda!

And even then…..Foundation Aid is not fully funded

❖ For 2017-18 school year, Foundation Aid for Gananda was underfunded by $1,702 per student.

❖ If Foundation Aid was fully received, the District would have an additional $1,686,336.

❖ This could help lower taxes by 15.90%.

How about Property Taxes?

Districts with Property value per TWFPU � Gananda● 64 out of 674

districts● Gananda has

lowest NPI

Key takeaways❖ The district is efficient and fiscally responsible.❖ There are two main streams of revenue for Gananda: State Aid and

Property taxes.❖ State Aid distribution focuses on residents wealth. For Gananda, State

Aid is low because Pupil Needs Index is low and district residents appear wealthy.

❖ Property tax focuses on property value. The district has the lowest property value per pupil among all districts in New York state with similar NPI because of the small percent of business properties in the district.

❖ The tax rate on a per property basis is high.❖ The district is at a disadvantage with both revenue streams.❖ We are unique, not average

Next Steps1. Advocate to change the way Foundation Aid is distributed to increase weight

on the district’s ability to collect property taxes.2. Advocate to unfreeze the High Tax Aid formula. Currently, High Tax Aid is

frozen at 2013-14 school year level.

Policy 1530

SMOKING AND OTHER TOBACCO USE ON SCHOOL PREMISES Due to the health hazards associated with smoking, and in accordance with federal and state law, the Board of Education prohibits smoking and all other tobacco use, and use of an electronic cigarette or e-cigarette, in all school district buildings, on school grounds, and in any vehicle used to transport children or personnel. Smoking or tobacco use is also prohibited within 100 feet of all school entrances, exits and outdoor areas, except where that is a residence or residential property. “Electronic cigarette” or “e-cigarette” means an electronic device that delivers vapor which is inhaled by an individual user (including vaporizers, vapor pipes, and vape pens), and shall include any refill, cartridge and any other component of such a device. The Board also prohibits the use of e-cigarettes in these locations. The district's smoking policy shall be prominently posted in each building, at designated outdoor locations on school premises (e.g. athletic fields) and in all district vehicles. The Board designates the Superintendent of Schools or his/her designee as agent responsible for informing individuals smoking cigarettes or e-cigarettes, or using tobacco unlawfully that they are in violation of Article 13-E of the Public Health Law and/or Section 409 of the Education Law and/or the federal Pro-Children Acts of 1994 and 2001.

Policy 5460

CHILD ABUSE, MALTREATMENT OR NEGLECT IN A DOMESTIC SETTING

The Board of Education recognizes that because of their sustained contact with school-aged children, employees are in an excellent position to identify abused, maltreated or neglected children and refer them for treatment and protection. The Board further recognizes the specific dictates of law which require school officials to report suspected instances of child abuse, maltreatment (which includes neglect) in a domestic setting. The purpose of mandatory reporting is to identify suspected abused and maltreated children as soon as possible, so that such children determined to be abused or maltreated can be protected from further harm and, where appropriate, can be offered services to assist him or her and his or her family. School officials, who have reasonable cause to know or suspect that a child has been subjected to abuse or maltreatment, must immediately report this to the New York State Central Register for Child Abuse and Maltreatment (Central Register), as required by law. No conditions may be imposed which limit their responsibility to report. A school official is defined as: Teacher Guidance counselor Psychologist Nurse Social Worker Full or part-time paid athletic coach Administrator Any school personnel required to hold a teaching or administrative license or certificate. The school official will also report the matter to the Building Principal. The report shall be made by telephone or by telephone facsimile machine on a form supplied by the Commissioner of Social Services. A written report shall be made within forty-eight hours to the appropriate local child protective service, and to the statewide Central Register. School employees who are not school officials, as defined above, but who have reasonable cause to know or suspect that a child has been subjected to abuse or maltreatment are encouraged to report to the Central Register. However, the school employee must report the matter to the Building Principal. If the matter has not yet been reported to the Central Register,



the Building Principal shall make the report, in accordance with state law. In being required to file such report, the Building Principal does not have discretion. School employees or officials may not contact the child's family or any other person to determine the cause of the suspected abuse or maltreatment. It is not the responsibility of the school official or employee to prove that the child has been abused or maltreated. Any school official or employee who has cause to suspect that the death of any child is a result of child abuse or maltreatment must report that fact to the appropriate medical examiner or coroner. In accordance with the law, any school official who fails to report an instance of suspected child abuse or maltreatment may be guilty of a Class A misdemeanor and may be held liable for the damages caused by the failure to report. The law grants immunity to persons who, in good faith, report instances of child abuse from any liability. School employees will not be subject to retaliatory action, as defined in state law, as a result of making a report when they reasonably suspect that a child has been abused or maltreated. The Board recognizes that knowingly reporting a false claim of child abuse is a violation of state law and this policy acknowledges that it is a crime to do so. The district will make every reasonable effort to ensure the integrity of the district’s child abuse reporting process and procedure. School District Relationship with Local Social Service District The school district will cooperate to the extent possible with authorized child protective services workers in investigations of alleged child abuse. The Superintendent, or his or her designee, will represent the district when collaborating with local social service agencies to address instances of abuse or maltreatment, and in the development of policy and procedures regarding abuse or maltreatment (including educational neglect). In addition, the Superintendent will share a copy of the district’s attendance policy, 5100, with the local social service district. Training Program and Dissemination of Information The school district shall maintain an ongoing training program which will address the identification and reporting of child abuse and maltreatment, including the legal implications of reporting and not reporting. Attendance at sessions of this training program shall be required of all school officials. Attendance records shall be kept, and notations will be made in personnel files as to the dates of attendance. The Superintendent shall develop, with input from appropriate personnel, a plan for implementation of such a training program, to be approved by the Board. In addition, the policy and regulations will be included in all employee handbooks and distributed annually to all school officials who are not covered under existing handbooks. The Superintendent will prepare and implement all regulations as are necessary to accomplish the intent of this policy



As required by state law and regulation, the district shall publicize the toll-free number for reporting child abuse and neglect to the Central Register (800-342-3720), and directions for accessing the NYS Office of Children and Family Services website (http://ocfs.ny.gov/main/cps/), in both English and Spanish.

Policy 8505

CHARGING SCHOOL MEALS

The goal of the Gananda Central School District is to provide student access to nutritious meals each school day. However, unpaid charges place a large financial burden on our school. The purpose of this policy is to insure compliance with federal requirements for the USDA Child Nutrition Program, and to provide oversight and accountability for the collection of outstanding student meal balances and to establish procedures to address unpaid meal charges throughout the Gananda Central School District.

The provisions of this policy pertain to regular priced school breakfast, lunch and snack (if applicable) meals only. The Gananda Central School District provides this policy as a courtesy to those students in the event that they forget or lose their lunch money. Charging of items outside of the reimbursable meals (a la carte items, adult meals, etc.) is expressly prohibited.

Free Meal Benefit - Free eligible students will be allowed to receive a free breakfast and lunch each day. A la carte purchases must be paid/prepaid.

Reduced Meal Benefit - Reduced eligible students will be allowed to receive a breakfast for $0.25 and lunch for $0.25 each day. The charge meals offered to students will be reimbursable meals that are available to all students.

Full Pay Students – Students will pay for meals at the school’s published paid meal rate each day. If a student is without meal money on a consistent basis, the administration will investigate the situation more closely and take further action as needed. If financial hardship exists, parents and families are encouraged to apply for free or reduced price lunches for their child if applicable. The charge meals offered to students will be reimbursable meals that are available to all students.

Parents/Guardians are responsible for meal payment to the food service program. Discreet notices/ emails of low or deficit balances will be sent to parents/guardians at regular intervals during the school year.

Students/Parents/Guardians may pay for meals in advance via myschoolbucks.com or with a check payable to Gananda School Lunch Fund. Further details are available on our webpage at Gananda.org. Funds should be maintained in accounts to minimize the possibility that a child may be without meal money on any given day. Any remaining funds for a particular student may/will be carried over to the next school year.

Refunds for withdrawn, and graduating students; a written or e-mailed request for a refund of any money remaining in their account must be submitted. Students who are graduating at the end of the year will be given the option to transfer to a sibling’s account with a written request.

Unclaimed Funds must be requested within one school year. Unclaimed funds will then become the property of the Gananda Central School District Food Service Program.

Balances Owed collection of owed balances will follow the policies and procedures set by the school.

If a student is without meal money on a consistent basis, the administration will investigate the situation more closely and take further action as needed. If financial hardship exists, parents and families are encouraged to apply for free or reduced price lunches for their child if applicable.
