2021-22 BUDGET VOTE: Tuesday, May 18th – 7:00 am – 10:00pm

Vote
The Annual Budget Vote and Board of Education Election

will be held on Tuesday, May 18, 2021, from 
7:00 am – 10:00 pm

On Thursday, April 22, the Board of Education adopted a proposed budget for the 2021-22 school year. The budget totals $263,000,000 and carries a projected tax levy increase of 2.95 percent, under the limit set by New York State’s property tax cap.

We believe the budget reflects our commitment to providing an excellent learning environment, reinforces our responsibility to prepare the next generation in a fiscally responsible manner, and fosters an engaging learning environment in our classrooms, schools, and beyond. We are confident that the budget enables us to stay focused on the challenges we may face in the future.

In addition to Proposition One: 2021-22 Proposed Budget, residents will be asked to vote on Proposition Two:  Capital Reserve Fund Facilities Improvement Program, which authorizes the district to expend funds from the Facilities Improvement Program (established on March 23, 2017) to replace the middle school gym floor due to the presence of mercury, as well as install air conditioning. Proposition Two will result in NO additional cost to taxpayers.

Residents will also be asked to vote for three board members for a term of three years commencing July 1, 2021, and expiring June 30, 2024.  Candidates are listed below as they will appear on the ballot:

1.  Victoria Molloy
2.  Frank Muraca
3.  Daniel Tomaszewski
4.  Farzeen Bham
5.  Penelope (“Penni”) Blizzard-McGrath

The budget hearing will be held on Thursday, May 6, at 7:00 pm in the Boardroom at Longwood High School.  The regularly scheduled meeting will begin immediately following the budget hearing.
