Board of Education adopts budget (a CCSD announcement)

April 16, 2012 by The Inside Press

Dear Community Member:
At a meeting on Tuesday, April 10th, the Board of Education voted unanimously to adopt the 2012-2013 school budget of $112,202,888.  The adopted budget represents a $754,400 or a 0.68% increase over the current budget.  Highlights of this budget include:
  • Maintaining class sizes at all levels
  • Retaining the team teaching approach at the middle school level
  • Saving $1 million in instructional expenses
  • Sustaining the breadth and depth of both core course and extra-curricular offerings at Greeley
  • Reducing $1 million in non-instructional expenses
  • Moving toward greater maintenance and energy efficiency
  • Reducing overtime expenses
  • Keeping under the 2% property tax levy cap

In these difficult economic times, and in the fourth consecutive year of major constraints for school budgets, it indeed has been challenging to find the right balance between advancing the goals of the district, maintaining the district’s commitment to class size and addressing federal and state learning standards.  I am confident this adopted budget will provide the Chappaqua Central School District with the resources necessary to continue on its course of delivering outstanding educational experiences to all students while at the same time demonstrating fiscal restraint.
Residents will now have an opportunity to vote on the school budget on Tuesday, May 15th between 7am and 9pm in the Horace Greeley High School Gymnasium.

Best,
Lyn McKay
Superintendent of Schools
