The measure will codify as law requirements enact- ed as an executive order in January by County Executive George Latimer. “It should go without saying that anyone serving as a public safety chaplain here should be a member of the clergy and a member of the community,” said bill sponsor Legislator Terry Clements (D- New Rochelle, Pelham, Pelham Manor). “Unfortunately, this has not always been the case.” Clements added, “I’m happy that the Board has built on what the County Executive has done to make this a matter of law.” Board Chair Ben Boykin said, “The people of West- Legislator Terry Clements chester deserve an open, responsible government, not one that operates by rewarding cronies, and that’s just what the Board intends to deliver.

The plan preserves programming and includes funds for several positions and safety measures. The vote was 1,757-1,004. The results remain unofficial pending their formal adoption by the Board of Education on Tuesday. The cap on the increase in the tax levy - the amount of money to be raised by property taxes - was 2.231 percent. The budget kept the increase to that level by cutting $3.4 million from the tax levy that was included in the $272.8 million budget that voters rejected in May. The tax levy in the now-approved budget is $209,002,162. That is an increase of $4,560,520 over the levy of $204,441,642 in the 2017-2018 budget. "This budget will serve the District well," said Superintendent Dr. Brian Osborne. "By allocating resources responsibly, the budget preserves our programs, provides for necessary additions and also protects the fiscal health that we have worked so hard to improve in recent years." The newly adopted budget carries an estimated tax rate of $785.72 per $1,000 of assessed value. That's an increase of $21 per $1,000, or 2.75 percent. The current rate is $764.72 per $1,000. The tax bill for a home assessed at $16,000, the city average, will be an estimated $12,571.52, an increase of $335.95. Such a home has an estimated market value of $695,000. All necessary programs, faculty and staff positions currently in place for this school year are maintained in the proposed budget. It adds four school counselors at New Rochelle High School, one in Thornton-Donovan School seniors and New Rochelle residents Xavier Rogers and Scott Hunter each house. It also adds teaching positions to address pressing student needs. They include 2.1 English recently committed to D1A northeast rugby powerhouse Binghamton University.
