The document summarizes the 2013-2014 budget challenges facing the Williamson Central School District. It outlines a $1 million budget shortfall due to Gap Elimination Adjustment (GEA) cuts from New York state. To balance the budget, the district proposes attrition cuts eliminating 3 elementary positions and 1 guidance position, reducing non-mandated programs, generating medical insurance savings, and utilizing grant salaries. The balanced $21 million budget stays within the tax levy cap and allows adding back 1 teaching position if state aid increases.

The document summarizes the 2013-2014 budget challenges facing the Williamson Central School District. It outlines a $1 million budget shortfall due to Gap Elimination Adjustment (GEA) cuts from New York state. To balance the budget, the district proposes attrition cuts eliminating 3 elementary positions and 1 guidance position, reducing non-mandated programs, and finding savings through medical insurance and grants. The balanced 2013-2014 budget of $21,079,205 represents a 2.79% spending increase while staying within the tax levy cap. The district hopes increased state aid could allow adding back 1 teaching position and reducing taxes.
The summary outlines the budget challenges facing the Williamson Central School District for the 2013-2014 school year. Due to a $1 million shortfall, several cost cutting measures are being considered, including additional supply cuts, equipment cuts, personnel cuts, reducing or eliminating non-mandated programs, and generating more revenue through a higher tax levy increase. The district is still facing a gap of over $1.5 million despite cuts over the past two years that eliminated numerous teaching and support staff positions. Balancing the budget will be difficult without concessions from the union or additional funding from New York State.

This document summarizes the 2013-2014 budget for the Williamson school district. It outlines gaps in state funding that remain from previous years and budget cuts that have been made. The proposed 2013-2014 budget of $21,051,455 represents a 2.66% increase over the previous year. This budget will be voted on in a proposition along with propositions to purchase new buses using reserves and establish a new bus reserve fund.
The document summarizes the budget situation for Williamson Central School District. It shows that the Gap Elimination Adjustment remaining for 2013-2014 is $1,293,993, resulting in a loss of $1,121 per student. Various cuts have been made to close a $1 million shortfall, but additional state aid will allow the restoration of one teaching position and reduction in use of reserves. The proposed 2.66% budget increase and 2.99% tax levy increase will result in an estimated $0.65 per $1,000 increase in tax rates. Voters will be asked to approve a $21,051,455 budget for 2013-2014.
This document summarizes a school district's 2012-2013 budget. It discusses declining state aid, cuts made over the past two years including positions and programs, drivers of increased costs like health insurance and retirement costs, proposed cuts for the coming year including positions and programs, keeping the budget within the tax cap with a estimated tax rate increase of 1.27%, and asking voters to approve the $20,506,817 budget and elect a school board candidate.
This document summarizes the 2012-13 budget for a school district. It shows that state aid has decreased in recent years while costs like health insurance and retirement have increased substantially. To address the budget gap, the district has eliminated positions over the past two years and may need to cut additional positions or programs. The total budget increase of 0.62% remains within the tax cap limit with an estimated tax rate increase of $1.28 per $1,000 of assessed value.
This document summarizes a school district's 2012-13 budget, which faces cuts due to declining state aid. It discusses positions and programs eliminated in prior years. The budget proposes additional cuts of around $800,000, including staff reductions, to remain within the tax cap while maintaining programs as much as possible. These cuts may not be enough, and the district will contact legislators hoping state aid increases or the tax cap is adjusted to help close their $100,000 gap.
The document outlines a proposed capital project totaling $2.5 million across the district's three school buildings. The project aims to preserve facilities by addressing repairs identified in the five-year plan, including roofing upgrades, fire alarm systems, and energy conservation. The cost will be covered by $545,000 from reserves and $2 million from state building aid funds, requiring no tax increase. Proposed work includes boiler and drainage replacements, technology and acoustic upgrades, and repairs to steps, columns, and rigging. Voters will decide on the project during a March 20th vote at the high school.
This document summarizes the 2012-13 budget for the Williamson Central School District. It outlines the district's mission to provide a sound basic education to all students. It shows budget amounts from 2008-2009 to the present, with a 1.44% decrease in 2011-2012. It also lists positions and programs that have been cut in previous years due to state aid losses totaling $3.2 million. The document proposes further cuts of at least $800,000 needed to bring the 2012-13 budget to around $20.5 million, which is estimated to be within the tax cap limit. Potential cuts include positions in English, science, social studies and special education. It provides enrollment data and discusses covering cuts through changing
The 2012-13 budget document summarizes the district's mission to provide a sound basic education to all students, quotes Governor Cuomo on education inequity, and outlines budget and staffing cuts over the past two years due to declining state aid. It then provides details on revenue sources, expenditure assumptions, major cost drivers like health insurance and retirement increases, and potential budget cuts to close an $800,000 gap and stay within the tax cap limit.
The document outlines the 2012-13 budget for a school district. It discusses the district's obligation to provide a sound basic education to all students according to a 2003 court ruling. The budget faces cuts of at least $800,000 to account for rising healthcare and retirement costs as well as modest salary increases. Further deficit spending and reliance on reserves is not sustainable and will compound the district's financial problems.
The school district is projecting a budget shortfall of $909,900 for the 2012-13 school year. Major cost drivers include a 17% increase in health insurance costs ($404,000), and increases of 20% and 13.25% respectively for retirement systems costs ($66,700 and $121,800). Revenue is expected to increase by only $364,500 due to a property tax cap limit and state aid increase, but this is offset by a $478,000 loss of federal aid. To balance the budget, the district is considering options like lobbying for additional state aid, supply and equipment cuts, personnel cuts, cutting non-mandated programs, and bringing special education students back from outside placements.
The document summarizes the budget challenges facing a public school district. It discusses factors affecting both revenue, such as declining state aid, and expenses, including staff reductions. While the district faced a budget decrease of 1.44%, it applied funds from federal grants and reserves to minimize cuts. The budget vote proposes a $20 million budget for the upcoming year along with purchasing two new buses.
The document discusses the budget challenges facing the Williamson Central School District. It summarizes that the district started with a $2.2 million shortfall for the 2011-2012 school year. To address this, the district decreased spending by eliminating 8 instructional positions and increased revenue through applying federal funding, using reserves, and raising taxes. The proposed 2011-2012 budget of $20.38 million represents a 1.44% decrease from the previous year.
The document discusses the budget challenges facing a public school district. It summarizes that state aid was cut more than expected, representing a loss of $1.48 million or 16.24% of the budget. Expenses also increased due to higher retirement and health insurance costs. To address a $2.2 million shortfall, the district used federal funding and reserves but also had to make cuts, eliminating positions and reducing programs and services. The budget, tax levy, and rates for the coming year are presented under further funding constraints.
This document summarizes the budget challenges facing a school district. It discusses factors like declining state aid, expense increases, and budget cuts over the past few years. The district is facing a $2.2 million shortfall for the upcoming year. To close the gap, the district plans to use federal stimulus funds, reserves, retirements, and cuts. Options are presented to increase taxes/levy to restore some positions or programs. Voters will also be asked to approve purchasing two buses.
The document summarizes the budget situation for a public school district for the 2011-2012 school year. It notes that while the graduation rate has remained high, the Governor cut state aid significantly more than anticipated, resulting in a $1.48 million loss of funding. To address a projected $2.2 million shortfall, the district plans to use federal stimulus funds, reserves, and $993,615 in cuts and concessions. This would result in a proposed 2.21% decrease in the budget but a 3.2% increase in the tax levy and a 1.53% increase in the tax rate.
The document summarizes the challenges facing the Williamson Central School District's 2011-2012 budget. Significant cuts were made, including the elimination of 9 professional and 1.4 classified positions. State aid was cut by $1.48 million or 16.24% of the previous year's funding. For the 2011-2012 school year, the district is facing a shortfall of $2.2 million despite applying federal funding and reserves. Further cuts of 7-10 professional and 3-5 support positions may be necessary.
The document summarizes budget cuts and challenges facing a school district over several years. State aid to the district was cut by over $1 million (16.24% of the budget). Non-mandated programs and positions were eliminated to offset these losses, including teaching assistants, athletics, and technology positions. The district faces a potential state tax cap in the future which will limit budget increases to 2% annually despite projected ongoing cuts to state aid.
