Board adopts 2010-11 budget proposal

April 20, 2010 -  The Voorheesville Board of Education is proposing a budget for 2010-2011 of $21,657,394 which is $5,044 less than the budget for 2009-2010.  The estimated tax levy will be $15,077,060 or a 2.89% increase.  The increase in the tax levy is, in large part, due to a drop in State Aid to the District of $679,916. (see page 2 of the brochure)  The District has lost $972,107 in State Aid when compared to budgeted State Aid two years ago (2008-2009).

    As of this writing, the District has budgeted State Aid revenue using the Governor’s proposal to the legislature.  If additional State revenue is received by the District beyond the Governor’s proposal, some or all of that money will be used to reduce taxes further.  The District was able to structure the budget so that no programs to students were reduced.  Fiscal year 2010-2011 will be the last year that the District will receive Federal stimulus money, and planning has already begun to address this future loss in revenue.
