001Mhm. >> Mhm. >> opportunity to uh if they choose to see the budget presentation. So again, to recap, uh so Mr. Pan Leon and Dr. Blosson talked about what happens in the at uh evening program. But so that was the program, so this is the cost. So we wanted to just give you a full disclosure. So the cost of the total cost of the program is $133,000. Um and while you know, but you know, this when you break that down uh remember there is uh a total of uh 40 you know, so there's 40 students on discipline. So just you know, so it's either our evening high school or we'll just use one other alternative, which is home instruction. So each student needs 15 hours of home instruction. Uh the the home instruction rate, which
002is pretty much in line with the rest of the county, it's $59. So one student for one week is uh $885. So for for one student and there's 40 students. So again, you know, just this is just students who they're on suspension, you know, is comes out to almost $94,000 and change a year if you kind of take the whole year. So that doesn't count all the other students. That's 116 students in the program. If you kind of break that down by the total number of students it's it's $1,100 a student. $1,100 a student to you know, keep our graduation rate strong, to get students, you know, on a successful path. So it really is uh money very well spent. Uh we another question was what's the breakdown of the increase in special apportionment section
003of the budget. So Miss Banta Flammer's going to talk about that. So first we wanted to look at the enrollments so that you can understand the uh drivers behind the expenditures driven in the special enforcement budget. And this would mostly be the special education enrollment. And historically, I went back to 23-24 to show where we were at that point, and we had a total of 480 students that PPS was servicing, and that number is now projected to be at 481 for next year. However, again, that's just a projection at this time, and there are still annual reviews going on, referrals, and CPSE and CSE meetings still ongoing until June. So, these numbers will most likely change, not too much, but a little bit up and down. Overall, it is a 27 um student enrollment projection
004for next year higher than our current year of 554 students, and that's a 15% increase. So, next, I've taken the special apportionment section of the budget. Now, in in here, not only does it include our special education students, but it also includes our evening high school costs, the occupational education costs, and our ELL program costs. And the salary increase is based upon contract salaries. There's no increase in staff that are projected here, and there were no reductions through attrition. The budget decreases that you see for equipment and supplies and textbooks are based on the budget reductions that we made by going line-by-line throughout the entire budget. That's what the drivers are for those reductions. And then we do have a small increase in contractual items. That's based upon our student needs of the PPS or
005special education section for speech in particular. Our tuition overall is declining and that's because we do have a student that's aging out of a program, the private program, and um that has been adjusted in accordance here. And our BOCES increases are driven by those numbers on the prior page where we had an increase in the enrollment, which was actually a net increase. You know, we've taken some of our students back because we always want to go with the least restrictive environment. So, um during these meetings PPS is able to bring some students back next year. I think so far it's three um for next year projected coming back to the district. But then we also have some aging in through kindergarten and some that may be aging out or graduating. So, that number is based
006upon that. So, the overall increase in this section of the budget is 7.7% or 1.6 million dollars. Now, fund balance comes. So, another question uh we had, are we overstaffed and can programs be combined? So, that's something we're look we look at every year and that's we really built that into our uh budget for this year. So, we always review programs. Um remember this year's budget, we are maintaining all of our programs. We're not adding anything new. Um look at you'll see again that we are we review retirements every year and then look at class sizes, whether it's uh no matter what level it is. So, we are eliminating three positions and then there's actually another position that's being eliminated from a teacher on special assignment. So, there there are, you know, positions that are
007being eliminated. So, really what you need to do is, you know, are we overstaffed? You know, certainly we want to maintain programs and we, you know, certainly there's value to maintaining, you know, reasonable and/or smaller class sizes as long as you possibly can. So, that's something over the next 5 years I would recommend into the administration to continue to look at the retirements, where they are, what programs they're in, and are there programs that we can combine? You know, so certainly if things were very dire and you know, we had to cut uh staff, I mean, you would you would do it, but we're not we're not there and the plan is that we will hopefully never get there. So, that over the next 5 years continue to go into the cap, continue to look
008at the programs, continue to look at the class sizes. Uh So, I would say no, we're not overstaffed, but certainly there's there's places where if we have to, but we don't have to right now. There's some something. So, I wanted to review over all of the budget changes that are occurring and the values. So, you can see the the the the number there. So, our total really cutting in the budget that Dr. Carter, Ms. Van Pelt and myself with assistance from uh the administration is almost 1.9 million dollars was cut out of budget. So, as you can see through staff, that's through attrition. So, again, as a reminder to the public, that what does that mean? That means that people are retiring and we don't need to replace them. So, we have uh two full-time
009elementary teachers, two full-time aides, and two full-time teacher assistants. So, you can see that total, 510,000. Through reductions, so we have a teacher on special assignment going back into the social studies department. That does bump uh the last hired in the social studies department. So, you have savings there. We are going to be moving away from uh Capital Region BOCES. They've been doing our communications for many years. Uh they're great people and they've done a great job, but we uh we feel we can do it a better job using uh existing staff uh and kind of hiring in some hourly people to assist. Uh we also can cut our some of our summer staff. So, that's the student workers. Uh that's that was a that's a big ticket item, so you can see that total
010$280,000. Then, I won't read them all, but just other items reduced as you can go through from diesel down to supplies, that's almost $950,000. As far as proposed personnel, so we want to take uh the same 12 members uh of GAA and reassign them, reshuffle. So, we did go to a full-time AP, we moved to that in December. Uh that was really that was a 6-month period, but we're going to go back to uh having a shared AP, but then create a instructional technology person who will pick up some of the work that the toast was doing, but expand that. So, do more state reporting, the level one and two reporting, to work directly with the RIC to do evaluations, but that person will also do a fairly good portion of the communications work that
011we're cutting Capital Region BOCES. So, that's there is a slight cost in that of 37,000, but when you add that into with all, it still comes out to the 1.876 million that we had to cut that had been cut out of the budget. So, quite a significant number being cut with The uh next question from March 16th was what's the impact of the What is 3.06 mean to taxpayers? So, that's our tax cap. What does that mean? So, just to give an example. So, uh this is again assessed home values. So, we went with 450, 550, and 650. Um I know that some people have houses that are less than that, and then some people have houses that are more. We kind of went with an average for this area. So, the estimated the tax
012increase per month So, if you have a four uh I'll just go with the 550. I'll go in the middle. So, if your house is worth $550,000, your tax increase per month is $54.50. So, that is about $654 for a year. But again, keep in mind. So, $54.50 uh a month, that's $1.82 per day. Now, I'm not a big coffee drinker. Uh I about twice a week I'm kind of I I get a little groggy on the way in, so I'll stop at Duncan. I get a medium, not the big grande latte, a medium latte, it's $4.89. Almost $5. For one one day. So, this is $1.82. And people who if you drink coffee, you know, I know and you're getting a grande latte, mocha, choca, you know, swirly, you know, that $7, $8, $9,
013$10, you know, for a cup of coffee. So, this is uh $1.82 for $550,000 house, uh and that's supporting our children in the district. Money well spent. So, that's kind of that's how you could break it down. So, again, the 650, if you have 650, it's about it's $64.41. Again, that's $2.15. Even a small coffee at Duncan is $2.99. Okay. Just to put it into reality. So, Ms. Barrett and Ms. Lawrence are going to go over some of the revenue, the proposed revenue. Thank you. Okay, so this is the proposed revenue and this is based upon the governor's budget. We still don't have a state budget adopted yet. Um, first uh first line is the tax levy and that is at the maximum allowable tax cap. And it is a total of 3.1%. That's rounded
014up from the 3.06 you saw on the prior slide or $1.7 million increase. Our local sources, um what the driver is here is our pilot payments. We do have two that came on the books this year and they will be increasing for next year. Can you just explain for the public so they understand what what's a pilot? A payment in lieu of taxes. So this would be for a business that's coming into the area and would like to slowly work their way onto the rolls, the tax rolls. So they do uh negotiate their reduction in their assessed value with the county. There's uh the county IDA handles all of this and then we get that from them. We don't get to negotiate that. We just get the decision from them. At this time, I know
015they're trying to change the way that works, but I don't think they've made any headway with that. Thank you. So, yeah. So one understands what that is. So that's that's what the driver is of the increase here. Um charges for other services is where we we recognize revenue for the students that are placed at the private schools in our district. We have Burke and St. Johns. And other districts throughout our county as well as other counties, we have kids from Sullivan County and even I think there's a student from Westchester County and Dutchess County, but they attend the school district here and we're required by law to provide services for these students. And so we are also able to bill that cost back to the home districts for these students. So that's what's under charges
016for services and then we also have students that attend the Hamptonburg school here. But because both of these schools are all of these schools, we do not know if there'll be any fluctuation in their enrollment for next year. I try to stay conservative and leave those numbers level. That's why there there is no increase projected here. Then we have our use of money and property. This is where you'll find your income interest income that I have spoke about a lot of the meetings for the financial updates where recognizing a significant amount of interest each year for the past two to three years. And because of that, I've increased our expected revenue for interest by the amount of $200,000. Then we have our miscellaneous which includes refunds of prior years expense. This is where you'll find
017our BOCES refund. And we also get our e-rate money. That's money that we get for our expenditures for our telephone services and our internet. And it's a federally funded program. And there is just a small increase here. And again, with the BOCES refund we have received a little bit more over the past two years, but it's just too hard to estimate what that will be each year. So I again take a conservative approach because you don't want to have less revenue than you're projecting. You can always spend less than you're projecting in a budget, but you don't want to not recognize your revenue that you're projecting. Then we have state aid. And right now that state aid state aid increases due to 1% in our foundation aid, which is the governor's projection. And that is
018around $217,000. And then the other increase, the difference between that and the $772,000 is our excess cost state. Excess cost state is the aid that we receive after a threshold number is spent on all of our special education students. So, as we see expenditures increasing for these students, we also will see on the other side of the coin, the revenue is increasing as well. If and when the budget passes, if we were to get another 1% in foundation aid cuz they have talked about that. >> budget. The state budget, sorry. That would be another $217,000. We're just going to reduce the amount of proposed um reserve funds or fund balance rather than recognize that revenue because we have enough set aside. We have a large amount for fund balance and reserves. Um then our federal
019aid next year we're going to Well, we're starting our billing this year, so our revenue for next year we're hoping will be at least $100,000 for our Medicaid billing. And then to fill the um gap between our revenues and our expenditures, that $4.9 million, we're going to appropriate $3.7 million in fund balance, same as the current year for 25-26, and increase it with um reserve funds of $1.2 million. And that gives us an overall 4.3% increase in the total budget. On this pie chart, I wanted to show you a pie chart because it's important to see how dependent we are on local sources, which is your tax revenue, because we only receive 34% in state aid. We have to make that up. We're very limited with the way we can raise revenue, so it falls
020on the local share of 61 and 1/2%. And under other is all of those other revenues I talked about besides state aid and um tax revenue. So, here's our current numbers. We may have some numbers to tweak. We may have a different um amount of the budget for you at the next meeting, but I'll explain any changes. Um but our current proposal is revenue with the governor's aid $96 million. Our total budget is 100 million 950,696. And then you can see our total gap and how we're going to fill that gap. I just do want to um remind everybody though that we have reserves and fund balance for a reason. And the different emergencies that we've encountered, especially here in Main Street, the flood we sustained on March 25th, and then over the summer we
021had the asbestos abatement that we had to do. Those are funded with fund balance. And we don't want to use up our fund balance or our reserves in the event of other emergencies. So, um we won't always have those emergency funds and there's also a list that the comptroller and New York State comptroller has that once schools start using their fund balance, if they use it up in reserves and fund balance at too rapid of a rate, we could end up on their fiscal stress list, just to let everybody know. I don't know if you want to jump in with anything, but Sure, yeah. Just keep in mind you that that those fund balances the rainy day fund and we're we're okay right now. We're in we're in good shape. Um but uh just to
022keep that in mind. So, just for the board, but also for the public, you know, as I said I just said last month and I jinxed us, you know, it's not always, you know, a snowstorm. It could be electric, you know, outage it could be and I even said could be a flood and here we had, you know, a week or two later we had a flood. So, you never know when you're dealing with this older buildings and a lot of buildings, things happen. Uh so, then the proposed capital project Yep. Proposed capital project. So, this is money that we are used that it's in from this year. So, we'll be working on the high school roof replacement. So, phase one of the high school roof replacement, as you can see, it's 2.25 million. Uh
023we've had multiple leaks. Uh it is it's time to address it. However, every time the roof leaks, you know, tiles get ruined, you know, you know, if that it adds up pretty quickly. You know, one tile is, you know, $20. Uh so, it it so if 100 tiles get ruined, that's a lot of money just because something dripped. And then, you know, not telling you again where the water drips on. So, really roofs need to be replaced. It's not uh pretty, it's not anything you're going to see, but it's something that we need to do uh to keep our children safe and to keep our equipment and people safe. So, this again, some of the things that we're continually working on through our regular budget. So, this not up there. So, this year from this
024year's money, you know, we did the CJ Hooker heating controls. Again, nothing that wow, heating controls, but something that needs to be done. Uh we're we'll be working on the high school PA system because, you know, there's some holes in the system and we need to keep our students safe in an emergency and not every part of the building is reachable from our current PA system. So, we're going to be replacing that. These are monies we already have and it's this And then, the high school tennis courts. So, they are uh not in great shape. Uh you know, if they were uh you know, they're kind of like me. They're getting older, they got cracked, you know, they're looking they're they're they're looking old. They need a little it needs a facelift. So, before it
025needs total body reconstruction, you know, we need to get those high school tennis courts taken care of um while they're still usable. So, that's something that we're paying for through the through the regular budget. So, uh and we just want to remind you, know, this is worst case scenario. This is for the board, but even more for the public. You know, a contingent budget. So, what that means is So, if the budget doesn't pass, so if when the board adopts the budget, and then it goes for a public vote, if it fails twice, not just once, but twice, you go to what's called a contingent budget. So, under that budget, the tax levy is the same, but in order to meet that, we would need in the the cut an additional $1.7 million in cuts.
026And these cannot come from transportation, from uh uh from textbooks and others specific supplies, but the cuts, you know, it'd be tough. You know, so I'm just kind of giving the worst case scenario. You know, 1.7 million, so you'd be talking staffing, you'd be talking programs, athletics. Uh all you could you can't have any equipment purchases under a contingent budget. You know, it it would impact extracurricular activities, field trips, etc., etc. And it would impact you know, our proposed capital project for next year. Um So, we're not going to have to worry about that, I know, because we have we're presenting a very fiscally sound budget that maintains programs and keeps our gives our students the best education we can at a price that our taxpayers can afford to pay. But this is just something
027that you do need to know. So, thank you very much. Thank you for Ms. Banfield line of work putting this together and for the support of all our administration cabinet members and Dr. Carter. Uh so, from here now, again, you know, we're we're basically we're at the point, you know, we're presenting at the next board meeting is when we really you know we have to adopt the budget again it's a number so the proposal is that you know we're putting in that same amount of fund balance from last year plus the 1.2 and again those numbers might adjust slightly between now and the next meeting but really that's uh the direction we would need from the board at the next time. Great. Yeah, thank you very much and thank you for all of the in-depth
028presentations. Uh There've been a lot of questions asked this year and with every presentation you've come back prepared um with in-depth responses. Uh you did things very early and even the way that it was broken down this year I think speaking for everybody we really appreciate how it was looked at three angles with each of these presentations to really give a full in-depth understanding. It's a team effort. It's all the administrators not just central. Before we continue on are there any additional comments or questions regarding budget? Great. So I think what we'll do is at the open comment section we'll revisit it to make sure we're all in line with the direction you'll need for next week and have a continued open discussion about that. Thank you. All right. All right. Thank you, Ms. Panjabi.
029All right. Moving on now we have our assistant superintendent for business report, Ms. Maureen Van Antwerp. Thank you and good evening again. Uh tonight we have on the agenda the corrective action plan for the internal audit risk assessment and then the actual audit after the risk assessment. And then we also have at the bid for the tennis courts at the high school land 50 bids for us and they received two proposals. Craftco was the um um the least amount on their bid and that was $557,544. Um you will see that also on the agenda. And that's all I have for today. And just just to remind the public, you know, that's you know, we we need those tennis sports things. It's embarrassing when to have when other teams come to play, but that's how much
030it costs. It's a And this is not a complete replacement. This this kind of a refurbishing. It's $550,000. Um but we love tennis, no pun intended. Uh but we we want to support all of our programs, all of our teams, and that's our job. Thank you. What we appreciated in the analysis of those uh proposals was really the explanation of the useful life that was remaining and and, you know, kind of getting ahead of those things. So, that information also very much appreciated. Great. Any questions about those tennis? No. Fantastic. And moving on then to our assistant superintendent for curriculum, instruction, personnel, and technology, Dr. Jason Carter. Thank you, Mr. Office. Good evening, everyone. Uh so, some updates with some ongoing work um and some new information for you. So, as you know, we continue
031to work with Education Elements through our school improvement grant. So, we've solidified a date now um to have Julie Riley join me at every building for approximately an hour and a half on April 17th. So, we'll start that work on April 17th with our visits. And then I actually have a meeting with her on the 10th, this Friday, to solidify some more dates in May where we can get together as an entire team, hopefully here in this room, um to spend two whole days going through our entire MTSS plan and really solidify that toolbox, as we say, in preparation for next school year. So, of course, it is ongoing. We'll continue to provide updates, and we continue to work closely and collaborate with educational events. You see on the agenda, um, the mention of Ed
032Law 2D and a data breach. And so, uh, things have been running relatively smoothly by way of software, um, and access points here in district since our our cybersecurity attack. Unfortunately, we were notified that there was a potential data breach. And so, here, uh, especially at Goshen High School, we work with PowerSchool to use Naviance. And Naviance is a program that manages a lot of our student information, uh, especially for those that are looking for college and career readiness and getting ready to to complete the standard applications for admissions to colleges and universities throughout the country. Uh, so, Naviance has what they refer to as a multiple transcript manager, uh, MTM for So, our school counselors take all of the information in the common application, especially transcripts, high school transcripts and records, um, and it
033gets uploaded into this MTM system. So, somewhere along the line, there was a uh, a breach in this information. Uh, so, I'll take a moment here to explain to you exactly what happened and what we did um, to to rectify this as quickly as possible, okay? So, the most important thing here, um, is that everything, uh, as it stands today, has been rectified. Um, and it was a a very small incident, although we don't want any incidents, it was a very small incident by way of number of students affected. So, our school counselors did not do anything wrong in this situation. They took all of the appropriate and correct information and attached it to what we call the e-doc system, much like what we use here for for onboard docs. So, all the information was
034correctly attached to student profiles. Once it was uploaded, and we had our PowerSchool Naviance NTM system take hold of it, it incorrectly reshuffled and distributed student information for not the correct students to their correct institutions. So, what I mean by that is, for instance, Jay Carter may have applied to SUNY New Paltz, and in my common application, Mr. Law's his information may have joined my application packet. And that was what we had identified problem through Naviance. And so, PowerSchool got in touch with us with a secure document explaining to us who these students were. And as I had said to you, there were not many, there were two students that were affected. And upon further investigation, we realized that there was only one student who had another student's transcript attached to that application for multiple
035universities. Once we identified the problem, we were then able to take appropriate action. And so, you know, that that really begins with having our counselors identify the students in all of the universities and colleges that the student applied to. So, we knew we had two. So, Ms. Holland and her team at the high school reached out to every single college and and university that these students had applied to. And they confirmed that either A, there was the correct information in the packet, or B, there were two different packets of information for one student. Once we were able to do that, we were able to to shuttle along the correct information to solidify those packets and ensure accuracy. So, fortunately for us, you know, we have one student that we had to worry about, meaning getting
036the correct information to those institutions. We did that quickly. Once we were able to get through that piece of it, we drafted a letter and sent it to the families immediately, first by email to make it a little faster, but then also by your traditional mail. So, there were there were two modes of notification sent to our families. And so um to my knowledge we we have not received any information from our families, but we know from the school counselor perspective that all the information um that was incorrect was deleted from the packets, deleted from the MTM system, and replaced with the accurate information in both systems. Um at that point I worked closely with Mr. Bon Jovi, and he was able to file the nice privacy complaint form with the chief privacy officer. What
037that is essentially is an online form. It asks you a bunch of questions on what you what you found, how you found it, and the steps that you had taken to to rectify the situation. Um we were able to do that quickly. We were able to submit that, and I believe Mr. Bon Jovi received confirmation that was done. Um and so we wait for any investigation that may be done on either side, whether it be um for the school district or um an investigation of the Nom Nom PowerSchool. Um but nonetheless, we know that everything has been taken care of appropriately and that the correct information has been distributed. Uh so today actually opened up the New York State 3-8 assessment window. Um we here at GIS and CJ Hooker will begin ELA testing on
038the 14th of April. Uh and that will be two consecutive days, so April 14th-15th for ELA. And then math will be on April 21st and 22nd, again two consecutive days. Um and then both um schools again will administer science in grades 5 and 8 on the 28th. And so this this large testing window runs from April 6th to May 15th. As long as you test your grade levels um two consecutive days for each content area, you satisfied the requirement. We are doing computer-based testing once again. We've done all of the readiness checks that are necessary. Um and that makeup exam for whatever content area it may be runs for the entire length of that testing window. And so I know that our team of administrators and and those proctoring will administer those makeup assessments most
039likely the day after or within two days of the content window closing that that we have decided will be the ELA window. So an example would be, you know, April 17th for ELA if we're testing on the 15th and 16th. So I know that we'll send out more notifications probably from the building level talking about makeups and and so on and so forth. So we encourage our parents and families to take a good look at the notifications about testing. Uh, we've talked at length about the O and U BOCES Consortium for Portrait of a Graduate work and I work closely with our our building level administrators. And so collectively we'll we'll combine um, our funding so that we can send a multitude of our teachers from all departments and grade levels to BOCES to participate
040um, in these professional development opportunities. The packet is large. Um, I don't believe I don't we don't believe that we need every single professional development opportunity, but there are many that are very important for us. And so just a an example of the sampling um, I'm confident in saying that SAS and GIS teachers will attend the making the New York State Portrait of a Graduate come alive in the standard based classroom. Um, CJ Hooker and GHS teachers may attend designing assessments that reflect the Portrait of a Graduate which aligns with with those core concepts and components of Portrait of a Graduate. Um, we're looking at inquiry based classrooms aligned to the Portrait of a Graduate, rethinking how we communicate student progress which would fall in line with the multiple pathways and alternative assessments if you
041will attached to Portrait of a Graduate. So, those will be starting up within a week or so. Talk to all of our principals. They're putting together teams to send out and I'll keep you informed as we go along this path of portrait of a graduate PD. Um this month on the 28th through May 1st, we'll have another substitute teacher orientation. We don't currently have anyone signed up, but as I'll say every week, if you wish to sign up to be a substitute teacher here in Negotiating Central Schools, we'd love to have you. Please contact Andrea Richardi and or Michelle Cerna and let's get that done. And then I just want to take a moment to congratulate our two CJ Hooker teams on their massive New York State win at the Odyssey of the Mind competition.
042And I know that we'll talk about this a little bit more as we get closer to the the end of May here, but we already want to wish them well as they prepare to travel to Iowa State for the world finals. To have two teams is pretty amazing. We've been there before and hopefully we'll bring home another title. Um and I also just wanted to once again thank those at the high school responsible for the business and marketing honor society. We we had an opportunity to attend a great induction ceremony. Students are working hard and that's a great example of just new pathways to to succeed and new opportunities that our crew is providing to all of our students district wide. So, Mrs. Lovejoy and her team, great job with the business and marketing honors.

He's not here tonight to see his availability next week, and he had mentioned a couple of days. One that I
044saw was maybe Thursday night of next week. That's something that can work for everybody around 6:30. That's fine for me. Do you want to have a backup just in case? In case that doesn't work for OCs. It'll work for them. Okay. We're going to make it work. Okay. Just double-check my calendar. So, that'll be Thursday the 6th. Mhm. Okay. Does that work? All right. All right, great. Very good. Um Maureen, if you don't mind, let me have you get that coordinated with our OCs team. And just if you're listening to this later on or you're in the audience, that's going to be a scheduled special meeting, which will be just an executive session only for the board to hear the feedback from our OCs team and everything that they have to say. All right. Well,
