What is at Stake ?
If the voters reject the District’s proposed budget, theBoard of Education may do one of the following:
� Resubmit the defeated budget � Submit a revised budget or � Adopt a contingent budget If the resubmitted or revised budget is defeated the BOE
must adopt a contingent budget consisting of “teachers” salaries and ordinary contingent expenses, subject to a cap on the administrative portion of the budget, with no increase in tax levy over the prior year. (Gap increases to $ 593,378)
