19 Program Proposals 1.0 FTE Elementary Teacher Direct result of increased enrollment in Grade 3 specifically..5 FTE Social Worker TST BOCES This is an increase in our overall need for social-emotional services and supports for student led restorative justice. (We have decreased 1.5 FTE s in social emotional supports since 2009).5 FTE Special Education Teacher This is partly in response to our 2013 NYSED Focus Plan and our current NYSED LAP plans with specific targets of addressing the achievement gap that our students with disabilities may face. Teaching Assistant shifting to a Teacher Position at ES Student Support Service Provider or Intervention Specialist This is in part due to the decrease in social work services and the increase in enrollment at the elementary school. Additionally, the principal role has changed and is demanding in regards to teacher evaluations. Teacher on Special Assignment (AD/ Dean of Students) Shifting this position back to an administrative position. This will allow us to fulfil our need to have a Director of Physical Education (Admin required) and meet our student and athletic needs. NET TOTAL ADDITIONAL COST OF $50,000

30 Q&A What happens if the proposed budget is defeated? If the proposed budget is defeated we have three options; putting the same proposed budget up for another vote, putting a revised budget proposal up for a vote, or adopting a contingent budget. If the second proposed budget is defeated by voters, Lansing must adopt a contingent budget. Contingent budget carries various spending restrictions including the use of our buildings by the community. Most significant, under the tax cap levy law, the tax levy cannot be increased by any amount. We would be required to have a zero percent tax levy increase.

31 CLARIFICATION ON PROCESS April - BOE vote May public vote by law are on the budget amount only. BOE sets levy in early August. Assessment office calculates tax rate.
