Fillmore Central School District Newsletter 6 May 2010 THE SCHOOL BUDGET FORMAT The State Education Department has standardized the presentation of all public school budgets. Chapter 474 of Educa- tion Law states: “School districts shall prepare the annual budget in plain language. The documents shall be complete and accurate and contain sufficient detail to adequately inform the public regarding estimated revenues, proposed expenditures, transfers to other funds, the amount of fund balance to be used in support of budgetary appropriations and to be retained, and a comparison of the prior year’s data.” The document you have in your hand meets and exceeds all the above requirements.

The law requires that the budget be separated into three components: PROGRAM: All the budget items relating to: educational programs including regular teaching, special education, extra-curricular and athletic activities, and student transportation. CAPITAL: This section includes custodial and maintenance services as well as expenditures for utilities and payment of debt. ADMINISTRATION: This section lists costs for the administration of the district such as the board of education, superintendent and principal, the business office, and special items such as insurance.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION The budget for the current year (2009-2010) is included so you can easily see and compare the changes. Estimated expenditures are listed first followed by projected revenue figures and school tax information. Every effort has been made to provide the financial information as requested by the residents of the district.

ABSENTEE BALLOTS are available for district residents who will not be able to vote on the statewide voting day of May 18th. You are eligible for an absentee ballot when: A: Absent from the county while polls are open due to business, occupation, or studies; B: Confined in a hospital or jail; C: Possessing a physical disability or illness; D: Absent due to vacation. If you will not be able to come to the school to vote on May 18, 2010 you may request an absentee ballot form. You can request the ballot by mail or in person. After your application is received voting ballots will be provided to you with instructions and a return envelope that you will seal. Here are the critical dates: Tuesday, May 11, 2010 is the last day that requests for absentee ballots can be received by mail. This is simply due to the mailing time required to get the ballots out to you and back to the district by May18th.

Monday, May 17, 2010 is the last day you may request an application for absentee voting in person. You must complete the request form in person. Ballots must reach the District Office by 5:00 PM Tuesday, May 18, 2010. These ballots are secured in the district until voting day when they are counted. If you need additional information on absentee voting please call the district office (567-2251) or the business office (567-2259).

Budget Q and A HOW MUCH IS THE PROPOSED 2010-2011 BUDGET? The 2010-2011 proposed budget is $13,633,832. HOW DOES THIS BUDGET COMPARE WITH THE CURRENT 2009-2010 BUDGET? The 2010-2011 proposed budget is an increase of $301,008 or 2.26%. The base budget compared to last year actually increased only 0.74%. $202,000 of the new increase is for buses. WHAT ABOUT SCHOOL BUSES? For 2010-2011 the district will be purchasing buses as part of the regular approved budget. Why would the Board choose now to switch to paying cash for buses rather than use borrowed money? There are three reasons. 1. The district saves interest cost on the borrowing. No note or lease means no interest costs to the local taxpayers. 2. The district saves legal fees. Buses are financed over five years. Some notes have to be renewed six times over the five years. Each time there is a renewal there are resulting legal fees. Not a lot of money but every little bit saves. 3. Budget planning. The Board spends cash now for buses. The state of NY will pay us back 90% of that money in Transportation Aid over five years. Using cash that is available now to purchase buses reduces the ovrall cost of transportation equipment and insures a future flow of state aid to replenish it. Continued on next page...

Fillmore Central School District Newsletter 7 May 2010 Budget Q and A Continued... THE PROPOSED BUDGET WILL NECESSITATE HOW MUCH OF AN INCREASE IN THE TAX RATE? The increase in the total tax levy is $20,942 or 1%. This is the same percentage increase as last year. Based on estimated 10-11 assessed values and equalization rates for the Fillmore Central School District the average tax rate per thousand of full value will remain at or even below $13.39. The tax rate in each town within the district will depend on the final as- sessments and equalization rates set by the Office of Real Property Tax in August. The projected true tax rate for Fillmore District Residents remains one of the lowest in Allegany County. HOW WAS THE BOARD ABLE TO KEEP THE TAX INCREASE SO SMALL WITH THE REDUCTION IN STATE AID? There is no easy answer when searching for ways to control a school budget. Many of our costs are fixed and significant cost cutting means eliminating people. Using several strategies the Board was able to keep a tight reign on the budget while having the least effect on student programs. There were significant savings in the area of the cost of health insurance as we negotiated with our employees to shift to a lower cost plan. The Board offered a retirement incentive to eligible employees to reduce payroll costs. Materials and supplies budgets were scrutinized and teachers were able to make significant cuts in their classroom supplies requisitions. The new hot water boilers have proven over two years to be far more economical that the steam boilers they replaced and we have been able to budget significantly less for energy costs. Perhaps most importantly are the fiscally conservative budgeting practices of past years that have kept the district operating without large increases in taxes at a time when the economic conditions have been poor. We are strategically using available reserves to survive the lean years without sacrificing programs or putting the district in financial jeopardy. WHAT ABOUT THE STAR PROGRAM? The Basic and Enhanced STAR program remains in effect. STAR reduces the tax liability on your primary residence with a $30,000 basic exemption and additional exemptions for low income senior citizens. THE STAR PROGRAM PAYS MOST OF MY SCHOOL TAXES, WHY SHOULD I VOTE? Over the last ten years taxpayer groups in New York have been successful in getting legislation passed that makes it easier to participate in the school voting process. Some of these laws include; a state wide voting day for all school districts; a plain language school budget in a specified format; the budget notice post card with voting information; required absentee balloting for all districts; website information on school budgets and property tax rates; and limits on re-votes and contingent budget caps. Each of these regulatory changes was made in direct response to voter concerns about the public school budget vote process. Obviously this is an important issue for our residents and lawmakers. The vote for the local public school budget, board members, and school capital projects is a right that New York State residents share with only a few other states. You cannot personally vote on any other New York public agency budgets or programs. No other local government or public agency has to be as accountable as your local school district. We need to exercise this responsibility to insure that it continues. Please vote on May 19th.

Questions? The public budget information meeting will be Tuesday, May 11th, 2010 at 7:00 PM in the school auditorium. As always you can contact the school for budget information at the following numbers. Martin Cox, Superintendent [email protected] 567-2251 Tom Ricketts, Business Manager [email protected] 567-2259
