How can there be an increase in the budget and a decrease in the tax levy? State aid has gone up substantially State aid provides 2/3 of our budget Tax levy provides 1/3 of our budget 2

3 Why are anticipated revenues up the same amount as anticipated expenditures? The revenue budget and the expenditure budget must be the same amount to balance the budget. Up by $315,207 or 1.56% Why did auditing, district treasurer, and legal expenses increase? They didn t. We decreased these line items unrealistically last year.

5 Why are library instructional salaries not going down? Librarian retirement was not certain. What are the expenditures of the district as of May 31, 2015? $19,681, Was there an unpublished board meeting prior to May 29, 2015 to discuss the budget? No 5

6 Business Program- Cost: $82,000 salary and benefits for one teacher Transportation costs: After state aid, $5,500. Cost per student $2,750 (27 students a year!) Number of Walton students who have completed CTE business program in Walton: 3 in past six years, + 1 in process. Number of students going to BOCES program: 2 so far, deadline not here yet; Several students have expressed interest in the half-day program. Will non-business students still be able to get the electives they need? Business classes are electives - not required for graduation. Other electives are and will be offered. Currently, we have five electives in our core subject areas and five business electives. In , we will be able to offer 14 possible electives and still offer a business program through BOCES, with more courses each year. Educational opportunity of receiving a 2-year college degree most important issue 6

7 Was the FBLA supervisor told there would be a club of some kind in Walton, as the reason the FBLA couldn t sell its equipment? Yes. Was this school property or FBLA equipment? Ultimately, it is the school s property Does the business teacher have a new job at BOCES?

What can the board/principal/superintendent say and not say about dismissal/documentation legally? Are teachers bound by any contractual agreement to not degrade the district publically? 10

11 CONTINGENT BUDGET SHORT VERSION 11

12 What happens if the voters vote down the Walton Central School District budget a second time? Walton goes to a contingent budget. The contingent budget is the same amount as the proposed budget. If there is a contingency budget, what is the overall increase or decrease in the tax levy? The tax levy will go down by -5.02% from the Budget 12

13 What does it mean to have a contingent budget? The following things MUST happen and WILL happen under state law: The district cannot purchase student supplies. The district cannot purchase new equipment or do any capital repairs unless it is an emergency. The Board will have to cut the administrative part of the budget by $285,804 and increase the program portion of the budget by $285,804. The district has to charge ANY OUTSIDE GROUPS that want to use the school buildings or grounds, with no exceptions. 13

14 The following things must happen: The Board of Education must provide all mandatory programs: 1st grade, 2nd grade, English, math, science, etc. 14

15 The following things COULD HAVE HAPPENED but WILL NOT happen: If the contingent budget were less than the proposed budget, the Board of Education could also eliminate some non-mandatory. programs to balance the budget. These include sports, art, music, library, and electives. The contingent budget is not less than the proposed budget, so the Board of Education does not have to do this, and WILL NOT do this. 15

16 TAX CAP SHORT VERSION 16
