2020-2021 Budget Proposals VOTE by ABSENTEE BALLOTS Due Tuesday, June 9, at 5 p.m. What’s Inside.... LCSD Superintendent’s Budget Message LCSD Three Part Budget Summary LCSD Budget Revenue LCSD Bus Purchase Proposition LCSD Property Tax Exemption Info LCSD & LPL Voting Information LCSD Board of Education Candidates LCSD Board President’s Message LCSD Budget Notice LPL Board President’s Budget Message LPL Budget Overview LPL Budget Breakdown Budget Message from the LCSD Superintendent of Schools Preparing Our Students For Tomorrow… Today As we all know, it’s the responsibility of the Liverpool Central School District Board of Education to support student programs and align resources necessary for student success, provide efective educators and leadership in all buildings, and act as responsible stewards of the district’s resources. It also is the district’s responsibility to assist all students in becoming college and career ready by establishing and supporting opportunities that will produce efective communicators, innovative thinkers, problem solvers, and life-long learners who thereby contribute to an ever-changing world.

This year’s budget development process, unlike any in previous years, presents a very unique set of challenges for our district. As you all know and understand – the COVID-19 pandemic has placed families, the school community, and individuals in unique and perhaps problematic situations. The district has taken the responsibility to tackle several areas: creating a continuity of learning plan for all of our students; a food delivery program for many of our resident families; and, child care services in which the county can utilize as needed. As the pandemic continues to take a toll and impact our seniors – it will undoubtedly have a long-term efect on the normalcy of what school looks like in the future.

As we played the waiting game in March and April with the Governor and State Legislature deciding how monies should be allotted, the district’s Budget Advisory Team spent time planning next year’s budget without any reliable information in which to build our reassurances. As it turned out... no additional money in the form of Foundation Aid was provided to the Liverpool Central School District for the 2020-2021 school year; further – there is grave uncertainty if any additional fnancial adjustments (take backs) to our current state aid funds will be made (based on the four measurement periods described by the Governor). Obviously, any further deterioration of state funding will have an even more detrimental impact on the entire 2020-2021 school budget... given we are so heavily reliant on the state aid-portion of school funding formula.

Having said that, Liverpool’s school budget process has been adjusted to some degree. The Budget Advisory Team worked tirelessly for a number of months identifying the needs of the district, followed by recommendations specifc to how district funds could be best allocated. I presented the LCSD Board of Education with a budget proposal that demonstrated specifcally how students are the primary focus of our planning.

The 2020-2021 proposed school budget does not cut any district programs but rather reduces positions, specifcally through attrition. We have reduced the overall spending plan of the budget (appropriations) by nearly $2 million from the original proposed budget. This reduction in spending will include 16 positions.

Voters also will have the opportunity to make decisions (totally through absentee ballots) on the 2020-2021 school budget, the purchase of several school buses and to elect representatives to fll three Board of Education seats. All are three-year terms.

The Board of Education and the Liverpool Central School District continue to focus on maintaining quality programs for all students. We will continue to advocate for our students and the programs that are in place... all focusing on preparing our students for tomorrow!

Sincerely,

Dr. Mak F. Pote LCSD Superintendent of Schools

My name is Stacey Balduf. Thank you for allowing me the privilege of serving on the School Board for the past 10 years, and currently as Vice President. My service has included acting as Board Liaison to Special Education, Fine Arts and Athletic. I have been a member of the Partners in Education, Contract, Grade Confguration and Redistricting Committees. I have participated, and at times chaired, the Policy Committee for all 10 years. I have attended numerous trainings and conferences to better understand and address our educational climate and the needs of our district. Recently I co-founded the newly created Liverpool Education Foundation with Dr. Mark Potter and Joseph Morawski. I am currently serving as President. The foundation’s mission is to enhance the academic opportunities of students in our community. A graduate of the LHS Class of 1980, I am rooted in this district and have fve children (and yes, one granddaughter), including a sophomore. I am also aware of what it means to have a child who required special education services. My husband and I are practicing attorneys with my matrimonial/family practice, including work as an attorney for children with an ofce in Liverpool. In addition to running our business, my experience includes being a member of various committees and boards in Central New York, including the Episcopal Diocese of Central New York. It has been a privilege to serve on this Board. Please feel free to contact me at 315-622-5202 or by e-mail at [email protected] with any questions, concerns or comments.

My name is Thomas Furr and I am seeking election to the LCSD Board of Education. I previously served on our BOE as I stepped in to complete an open seat during the 2018-2019 school year. My wife Erika and I are members of the class of 1988. We are proud parents of Payton (class of 2020) and Jackson (class of 2022). Our family has had the opportunity to enjoy the things that make Liverpool so special. We have enjoyed sporting events, evenings in the fne arts departments, and academic ceremonies. Activities involving Liverpool Schools have been part of our family history. In return, I have put forth a strong efort to help shape our schools and community. In addition to serving as President of the Morgan Road PTO for two years, I served on district committees involving transportation, capital improvements, and selecting our current athletic director. I have also been active in many areas in our community. I am a certifed swim ofcial, youth coach, and coach. My involvement in all these areas, both school and community, have allowed me to see challenges we face, but also the opportunities we can create. I would greatly appreciate your support.

My name is James Michael Root. My wife Christine and I have lived in the district since 1974. We live in the Woodspath Acres neighborhood of the Elmcrest community. Our two children Kara and Ryan attended Liverpool schools from K to 12th grade. I was a kindergarten/primary teacher at Elmcrest Elementary for 39 years and have been retired for the last 10 years. I have been active as a volunteer and leader in numerous organizations in our community. I am an individual of both strong character and faith and belong to Pope John XXIII Church. I have always been strongly motivated to be a board member to be able to continue to serve all our students and their families. I realize they’re our greatest resources and truly believe they need to know how much we care about their success in life. We’re still facing fnancial challenges that make it difcult to continue to keep ofering a quality education and I’m empathetic to the fnancial costs to our taxpayers. I am humbly asking you to consider voting for me, so that I can be a part of the great things that make our district a true educational leader in CNY!

My name is James Rowley. I am unsure who coined the phrase “timing is everything”, but I am motivated to seek election to the Board of Education because of the times we fnd ourselves in. I know there will be many difcult decisions ahead and I believe I am well equipped to bring value to the decision-making process. As a graduate of Liverpool High School, my public education prepared me well to earn a BS degree from Clarkson University, an MBA from and my permanent certifcate in school business administration from SUNY Brockport. While the next few years will be difcult ones fscally, the mission of providing an excellent education to our students must be accomplished and I am excited about the possibility of playing a role in this endeavor. I have served in elected ofce as town councilor, town supervisor and county legislator. My experience includes various private sector management positions in accounting and fnance. I served four years as Onondaga County chief fscal ofcer and I am currently employed by the Oneida City School District as assistant superintendent of fnance. I believe my background will allow me to be an efective member of the board and I respectfully ask for your vote. Message from the LCSD Board of Education President Sixty-two days. As of this writing it has been 62 days since New York State shut down life as we know it as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Amazing and tremendous things have happened in 62 days. In-person learning went mobile and our Liverpool Central School District staf stepped up to the challenge of maintaining a continuity of learning so “school” could go on. Online classrooms, video sessions, morning announcements all creatively and spontaneously appeared as if we did this all the time. Our community supported us – Lockheed Martin’s fnancial donation made it possible to provide Internet hot-spots for those in our community that didn’t have access (see page 12 for more information). Our Food Service Department continued to provide breakfasts and lunches for our students delivered by our Transportation Department and district administrators at various locations throughout the area. Our LCSD counselors provided resources for support during these challenging times. The Physical Education Department and our school nurses provided direction and support to keep us physically and mentally sharp as we sit at home. Our community stepped up – providing food for the Warrior Pantry, volunteering to help in a multitude of ways, being a presence of positivity. Our maintenance and custodial crews continue to clean and sanitize the facilities. Our feet is clean and operational. Construction at the high school started early and is moving full-speed ahead. Our buildings are closed but the work of education goes on. Words fail to describe the emotion and pride we feel being a part of the Liverpool community. We empathize with the Liverpool High School Class of 2020 – senior year, prom, graduation, parties – all not conducive with social distancing. The district continues to develop creative ways to celebrate the close of this chapter - from lighting up the LHS stadium to various sorts of recognition throughout the remaining school year. Our community is there – joining in the celebrations, decorating their vehicles, and ofering up thoughtful words of wisdom to the next generation of Warriors. We are more than just taxpayers, parents, and residents in Liverpool. We are a community of Warriors. We have learned a lot and no doubt will be better for what we have experienced. Continue to step up, Warriors – remember, it takes a Warrior to make a Warrior – and we are ALL in the Warrior-making business. We encourage you, now more than ever, to participate in this year’s budget vote and Board of Education election – your vote matters.
