2018-2019 SCHOOL BUDGET MESSAGE FROM THE BOARD OF EDUCATION AND SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS

On Tuesday, May 15th, from 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM at the Bruno M. Ponterio Ridge Street Elementary School, voters will be presented with the 2018-2019 Blind Brook-Rye School District budget adopted by the Board of Education in the amount of $45,190,924, a 2.91% increase over the amount of the 2017-2018 budget. It is noteworthy, that for each of the seven years that the NYS Tax Levy Cap Law has been in place, at Blind Brook, the school tax levy has always been at or below the maximum allowable tax levy limit, thus an override has never been proposed. This trend will continue with the 2018-2019 Adopted Budget.

For the past two months the Superintendent of Schools and Board of Education have discussed the development of a school district budget for next year. This has been an exceptionally challenging budgeting process for two reasons. First, the District was hit with an unexpected tax certiorari settlement expense of $4.75 million dollars because of the Town of Rye’s under-assessments of the Doral and Reckson properties. The District has borrowed money to pay these tax refunds and now must begin budgeting to pay the principal and interest payments on these 20-year bonds. Second, the 2018-2019 Budget is being impacted significantly by increasing employee benefits and special education costs.

Given these challenges, the Superintendent and Board are pleased to announce that the adopted 2018-2019 budget meets its targeted budget goals. The 2018-2019 Adopted Budget, if passed by resident voters, provides for a 2.63% tax levy increase which is precisely at the maximum allowable under the law. For 2018-2019, the Blind Brook tax levy growth factor is 1.02. This coupled with a tax base growth factor of 1.0068 has created a challenging budget scenario wherein the 2018-2019 tax levy can only increase by $996,898. Consequently, in developing a final budget for next year, $808,742 in spending cuts were made and $1,567,746 from reserves was added to the revenue side of the budget, to meet the tax levy cap mandate without an override. Hence, this budget achieves two important goals – it maintains all core instructional programs while staying under the maximum allowable levy limit. Once again this year, a budget will be presented to District voters which advances an agenda that places students first while minimizing the financial burden on local taxpayers.

In summary, the Superintendent of Schools and Board believe the financial plan as set forth, will obtain desired results with the projected resources needed to implement the educational program and ensure that every student receives an excellent education. You are encouraged to study the plan and ask questions about its contents. For further information please contact the Superintendent of Schools at 937-3600x3022 or [email protected].

Please remember to cast your vote on Tuesday, May 15th at the BMPRSS Old Gym.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This document contains a budget prepared by the Superintendent of Schools and with modification, was adopted by the Board of Education on April 17, 2018. After six months of development and eight weeks of discussions at several public meetings, it now is the final budget to be presented to resident voters on May 15, 2018. There will be one final discussion eight days before the vote; on May 7, 2018 a public budget hearing will take place at 7:30 P.M. in the Monroe E. Haas IMC at Blind Brook Middle/High School. In preparing the 2018-2019 budget, the School Board remains mindful of the difficult economic times facing residents of this community. Since the 2012-2013 fiscal year a property tax cap mandate now exists in New York State. The property tax cap law was enacted when Chapter 97 of the Laws of 2011 passed both the Senate and Assembly and Governor Cuomo signed it on June 24, 2011. The legislation establishes a limit on the annual growth of property taxes levied by local governments and school districts. The cap applies to all independent school districts, including Blind Brook. The tax levy cannot exceed the cap unless 60% of voters in a school district approve such an increase. If voters reject the spending plan twice, school districts must adopt a budget with the same tax levy as the prior year – a zero percent cap. It is noteworthy that for the seventh consecutive year, the 2018-2019 Adopted Budget reflects an estimated tax levy with an increase from the prior year that is at or below the maximum allowable tax levy limit. Budget Proposition

The total dollar value of this budget is $45,190,924 and represents an increase of 2.91% over the 2017-2018 Adopted Budget. This budget advances an instructional agenda that continues to place students first. It includes an increase of $1,275,857 over the prior year’s budget. The tax levy is projected to be $38,872,545, about 86% of budget revenues. The non-property tax levy revenue stream of $6,318,379 brings the budget into balance. Noteworthy is the amount appropriated from surplus - $1,567,746. With the proposed revenue plan the estimated tax levy increase is 2.63197% the exact amount of Blind Brook’s maximum allowable tax levy cap for the 2018-2019 school year. This achieves the first of two primary budget goals – “keep the tax levy at or below the cap.” Based on a recent demographic study the District expects enrollment to drop slightly during the next few years. The 2018-2019 Adopted Budget reflects consideration of the fact that enrollment will decrease at two of the three District’s schools next school year. While it provides the necessary resources to serve 1,420 students in grades K-12, it does so with only minimal reductions in staff at both the K-5 and 6-12 levels. Thus the second budget goal is achieved – “to preserve the core instructional program.” The 2018-2019 Adopted Budget aggressively advances an instructional agenda that continues to place students first. The largest section of the budget is dedicated to direct instruction and instructional support services at 60%. Instructional staff salaries, contractual costs, equipment, supplies/materials, and textbooks are located in this section of the budget. Undistributed costs, such as fringe benefits and debt service payments are the next largest section at 29%. General support services, which include facilities and administrative costs associated with the operation of the District, represent 8% of the budget. Pupil transportation costs comprise the final 3% of the total spending plan.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

In New York State, K-12 public education funding typically comes from three sources: approximately 6% from federal sources, 47% from state foundation aid and other aids/grants, and 47% from revenues raised locally. For the Blind Brook schools these percentages do not apply as the District’s property wealth is significantly high. The District will receive no direct federal aid that is applied to the general fund budget. Total estimated state aid flowing to Blind Brook next year is estimated to be $3.17 million or only about 7% of the adopted budget with the remaining funds substantially coming from the tax levy. In spite of rising regular and special education costs and only a modest state aid allocation, the District continues to deliver high quality services to all students. This cautionary advice is released again this year – this reality may be jeopardized with the budget challenges facing this school community in upcoming years. While this year’s financial plan is now set for a public vote, the Board is mindful that limited unassigned reserves and unfunded/unknown mandates will continue to put pressure on the District’s financial operations for at least the next several school years.

Impact of Budget Proposition on School Taxes Assessed valuation is defined as the value of real property for the purpose of levying taxes. In the Blind Brook community there are 2,442 taxable parcels that yield a total district-wide full value assessment of $2,208,964,912 as of June 2017, an increase of $18,523,199, or 0.8% from the prior year. For the 2018-2019 budget, the homestead/non-homestead breakdown is:

Homestead Valuation: $1,975,283,980 # Taxable Parcels 2,392 Non-Homestead Valuation: $233,680,932 # Taxable Parcels 50

The district-wide assessed valuation is one of two main factors influencing the school tax rate in 2018-2019. The other is the actual tax levy. In order to calculate the homestead and non-homestead tax rates the New York State Office for Real Property Services (ORPS) sets homestead and non-homestead percentages which are used to establish the tax burden and portion of assessment to be carried by each class. The Board sets the amount of tax levy. Once this is accomplished the homestead and non-homestead tax (millage) rates are computed using a basic arithmetic formula: tax burden divided by portion of assessment multiplied by 1000. For the 2018-2019 budget, with a district-wide assessed valuation of $2,208,964,912 and an anticipated $38,872,545 tax levy, the respective tax rates would be as follows:

Homestead (Residential): Non-Homestead (Commercial): Percentage: 79.612375% Percentage: 20.387625% Tax Burden: $30,947,357 Tax Burden: $7,925,189 Portion of Assessment: $1,975,283,980 Portion of Assessment: $233,680,932 Tax Rate: $15.66729 per $1000 Tax Rate: $33.91457 $1000 Decrease: 3.41% Increase: 44.87% For the purposes of simulating estimated school taxes in 2018-2019 for a single family home in the Blind Brook community valued at $868,000 the following example is given. School taxes are computed by using this formula: (property’s assessed valuation divided by 1000 multiplied by

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

the tax rate less the 2018-2019 maximum STAR savings). Since the last school year the savings resulting from the Basic or Enhanced STAR exemptions are limited to a 2% increase over the prior year. The maximum STAR savings for each school district is now calculated by the Office of Real Property Tax Services (ORPTS) and available online. For 2018-2019 the basic STAR savings is $1,471 and the enhanced STAR savings is $3,182 for Blind Brook. Therefore, 2018-2019 school taxes on the $868,000 single family home, given the adopted budget and assuming continued eligibility for either the Basic or Enhanced STAR exemption, are as follows:

Estimated Homestead School Tax Computation with Maximum Basic Star Savings: Assessed valuation of property = $868,000 divided by $1000 multiplied by $15.66729 (the estimated homestead tax rate) less $1,471 (Basic STAR savings for 2018-2019) equals (($868,000 / $1000) * $15.66729) - $1,471 = $12,128 ____________________________________________________________________________

School Tax with Enhanced STAR savings: (($868,000 / $1000) * $15.66729) - $3,182 = $10,417

It is important for community members to remember that their home is assessed at full value and the actual cost of school taxes in Blind Brook is best explained as a result of an increase or decrease in a number of factors. In the final analysis the community must know that taxes in support of schools generally increase or decrease as a result of several factors most important of which are:

the school tax levy

the ORPS base percentages

the final school tax rate as determined by the Town of Rye Receiver of Taxes in August

the increase or decrease in a property’s assessed valuation determined by the Town of Rye Assessor

eligibility of the property owner for the STAR exemption Summary

In sum, the 2018-2019 Adopted Budget represents the programmatic and financial expression of the educational philosophy of the Board of Education. After careful analysis the Superintendent of Schools and Board believe the plan, as set forth, will obtain anticipated results with the projected resources needed to implement the educational program, achieve goals and objectives, and ensure that every student receives an excellent education. More than ever, this financial plan is an investment in our future. We will educate students today to enable them to solve the formidable problems they are sure to face in the years ahead and to preserve the way of life we all have come to expect as citizens of the United States. We will accomplish this understanding the need for fiscal prudence and our duty to balance the wants and needs of all community members.

FINANCIAL PLAN AND SCHOOL BUDGET 2018-2019

GENERAL FUND BUDGET SUMMARY

The school budget is a financial estimate of the operating funds required to achieve goals and objectives of the District’s educational program. The adopted 2018-2019 Budget is $45,190,924, $1,275,857 over the 2017-2018 budget. The budget-to-budget expenditure increase is 2.91%. Anticipated non-property revenues (NPR) of $6,318,379, an increase of 4.62% from last year, result in a total estimated tax levy of $38,872,545 (before STAR deduction). The increase in NPR results from additional interest earnings and state aid. The estimated tax levy increase is only 2.63%, exactly at the calculated tax levy cap of 2.63% for the 2018-2019 school year. The estimated tax rate will decrease by 3.41% for homestead properties and increase by 44.87% for non-homestead properties. The June 2017 tax roll reflects adjustments to assessments of residential and commercial properties in Blind Brook to what is perceived as current market value. As a result, the June 2017 district-wide assessed valuation is now $2,208,964,912, an increase of $18,523,199, or 0.8% from the prior year. Based on the recent New York State Office for Real Property Services adjustment to the homestead and non-homestead base percentages for Blind Brook, the estimated tax rates for residential and commercial properties are as follows: Homestead properties: $15.66729 / $1000 A.V. Non-Homestead properties: $33.91457 / $1000 A.V.

EXPENDITURE SUMMARY

The budget-to-budget expenditure increase is $1,275,857 or 2.91% for the 2018-2019 school year. Driving this increase is the rise in special education costs, the addition of the Interim Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum, Instruction and Assessment position and the increase in debt service costs the result of unanticipated school tax refunds made to Doral and Reckson as a result of tax certiorari settlements. The District was able to offset a substantial part of the overall budget increase by reducing expenditures in the one area of operations:

Regular Instruction – a reduction of $442,962 In the 2018-2019 Adopted Budget there are 51 budget lines with lower spending levels than in the 2017-2018 budget. The Blind Brook School District is one of 54 school districts in the Westchester/Putnam region. The Clearinghouse of Educational Services operated by the Putnam/Northern Westchester BOCES annually develops a comparative study of these 54 school districts. For the previous school year Blind Brook’s actual per pupil expenditure was calculated at $27,708, 27th in the region and just under the median for the group of school districts reporting data.

REVENUE SUMMARY

The single greatest source of budget revenue is the District’s tax levy. This draft of the 2018-2019 budget estimates that the total tax levy will be $38,872,545 or 86% of the total budget (before STAR deduction). Non-property revenues are estimated at $6,318,379 or 14% of the total budget, a slight increase from the prior year as result of additional interest earnings and state aid projected for 2018-2019. The major sources of non-property revenues for 2018-2019 are as follows:

1. State aid totaling $3,175,757, about $182,578 more than in 2017-2018;

2. A transfer into the general fund of $1,567,746 from the District’s unassigned and retirement reserve fund balances;

3. County sales tax revenue estimated at $370,000;

4. Nonresident tuition revenue estimated at $425,000; and

5. Split lots revenue collected from neighboring school districts estimated at $300,000.

Starting with the 2012-2013 school year, the District’s ability to increase annual property tax levies is constrained. The property tax cap law, enacted in Chapter 97 of the Laws of 2011, restricts tax levy increases for local governments including public school districts to no more than 2%, or the rate of inflation, whichever is lower (prior to allowable adjustments). Local governments and school districts can override the cap with a 60% vote either by their local governing body or, in the case of a school district, by the voting public. The proposed 2018-2019 budget reflects an estimated tax levy with an increase of 2.63% from the prior year actual, a figure that is precisely at the maximum allowable tax levy rate of increase - 2.63% calculated for Blind Brook.

ASSESSED VALUATION & SCHOOL TAXES

Assessed valuation is defined as the value of real property for the purpose of levying taxes. In the Blind Brook community there are 2,392 taxable parcels that yield a total district-wide full value assessment of $2,208,964,912 as of June 2017, an increase of $18,523,199, or 0.8% from the prior year. For the 2018-2019 budget, the homestead/non-homestead breakdown is:

Homestead Valuation: $1,975,283,980 # Parcels 2,392 Non-Homestead Valuation: $233,680,932 # Parcels 50

It is important to note that a property’s assessed valuation is now its true market value as a result of revaluation that took place in 2004 and recent changes that have been ordered by the Town of Rye Assessor. The 2018-2019 school tax rates are computed for Homestead (residential) and Non-Homestead (commercial) properties using special percentages provided to the District by the Town’s Assessor.

ESTIMATED 2018-2019 TAX RATE CALCULATIONS School Tax Rate Homestead Computation:

(TAX LEVY * HOMESTEAD %) / (PORTION OF ASSESSMENT) * $1000

($38,872,545 * .79612375) / ($1,975,283,980) * $1000 = $15.66729 per $1000 of AV School Tax Rate Non-Homestead Computation:

(TAX LEVY * NON-HOMESTEAD %) / (PORTION OF ASSESSMENT) * $1000

($38,872,545 * .20387625) / ($233,680,932) * $1000 = $33.91457 per $1000 of AV

EMPLOYEE BENEFITS SUMMARY

Retirement Costs: Teachers’ Retirement System: The District’s employer contribution rate to the NYS Teachers’ Retirement System (TRS) is estimated to increase to 10.63% of payroll from 9.80%, for the 2018-2019 school year. This increase will result in a significant added cost next year. Overall, TRS employer contribution costs are projected to increase by $145,259, or 7.3% for 2018-2019. Future pensions for faculty members and administrators are covered by this system. Employees’ Retirement System: The District’s employer contribution rate to the NYS Employees’ Retirement System (ERS) is estimated to decrease to 14.9% of payroll from 15.1%, for the 2018-2019 year. As a result there will be a decrease in costs over what was spent in the prior year. Overall, ERS employer contribution costs are projected to decrease by $23,133, or 3.9% for 2018-2019. Future pensions for non-certified employees are covered by this system. Social Security/FICA: Social Security/FICA benefits will increase by 1.8% in 2018-2019. The salary threshold for calculating the total maximum contribution per employee will increase to $128,400 in 2018-2019. Workers’ Compensation Insurance Costs: The District’s workers’ compensation insurance cost is a function of total payroll, loss experience, and the investment markets. The District’s cost in this area will increase by $8,416 or 5.7% in 2018-2019. Unemployment Insurance: The District’s unemployment insurance costs remain stable when compared to the prior year as a result of no increase in claims activity. It is not possible to determine the number of future claims but a figure of $25,000 is now being used for 2018-2019 budget purposes, $5,000 less than budgeted in 2017-2018. Health Insurance: Health insurance costs are increasing by 13.4% in 2018-2019, higher than expected. This is a result of NYSHIP Empire Plan higher than expected rate increases for 2018 and anticipated in 2019 for both active employees and retirees receiving these benefits. The District’s cost for providing health insurance benefits for its active employees in 2018-2019 is estimated at $29,868 per employee for family plan benefits while the individual rate is expected to be $12,911 per employee (before employee contributions). The District also pays for retiree health insurance coverage per established guidelines. Employee and retiree contribution rates do exist and follow provisions in collective bargaining agreements. Welfare Fund (Dental & Vision Insurance): Total payments made to the Federation Welfare Fund for dental and vision benefits in 2018-2019 are expected to be slightly higher than the 2017-2018 year payment. The employer contribution next year is $1,500 per employee or an aggregate of $345,000 next year. Note that the Welfare Fund provides dental and vision benefits for all full-time and certain part-time active employees of the District per collective bargaining agreements.

BOARD OF EDUCATION SUMMARY

The Blind Brook-Rye Union Free School District Board of Education is a corporate body consisting of five (5) members who are elected by residents of the District and serve three (3) year terms. One member is elected by the Board at its re-organizational meeting held in July to serve as president and one member as vice president. The president is chief spokesperson for the Board. The vice president exercises the duties of the president in case of that officer’s absence or disability. The Board oversees and manages the District’s affairs, personnel and property, and is ultimately responsible for the education of children residing in the District. This year’s school board election features a vote on two, three-year terms expiring June 30, 2021, to fill the expiring terms of incumbents Daniel C. Savitt and Ashley R. Welde. The new terms commence on the date of the 2018-2019 Board of Education Reorganization Meeting in July.

The funds required by the Board of Education include the membership cost of local, state and other regional school board associations. Other costs consist of:

Board-sponsored activities

Supplies and materials

Contractual costs

BOCES services

District clerk costs

Annual school election costs The cost for these Board of Education expenses is estimated to be $37,400 in 2018-2019, $7,100 less than budgeted for 2017-2018. The costs cover expenses related to the functions of the Board of Education, the annual district meeting (budget vote and election as well as any scheduled bond referendum), and the district clerk salary. School districts in New York are the only governmental units required to place their annual budgets up for a public vote. This is an unfunded mandate thus the administrative expense to facilitate an annual budget vote and school board member election must be absorbed by the general fund of the school district.

CENTRAL SERVICES SUMMARY

Central services include assessments that relate to the District’s general and legal liability insurance, public water service and BOCES administrative and capital charges. Also contained in this area are postage costs associated with District mailings.

Overall, central services costs will increase by $26,484, or 5.3% in 2018-2019. The District’s general and legal liability insurance costs are expected to increase by $9,275 or 4.8% next year. The District is a member of the New York Schools Insurance Reciprocal and experiences some measure of insulation from the high cost exposure in the commercial insurance market. BOCES administrative and capital costs are increasing by $17,209 or 9.1%. These costs are determined by the Southern Westchester BOCES and are a function of BOCES’ internal costs (non-program, retiree and capital) and the Blind Brook-Rye School District’s enrollment (RWADA). This BOCES increase reflects the rising retiree health insurance costs the BOCES is experiencing much like all public school districts in New York.

Elementary students develop critical thinking and analytical skills. Through literacy instruction in language arts, mathematics, social studies, science, health, technology and physical education each child’s curriculum is enriched, and each student develops cultural and creative skills through art, music, and supplemental programs. At the secondary level, New York State Learning Standards are being met or exceeded throughout the District. AP courses, electives, art, music and physical education programs as well as academic intervention services and Regents preparation at all levels, are embedded throughout the curriculum.

Included for budget purposes are payroll projections for K-12 faculty, substitute personnel, school monitors, teacher aides and stipends paid to these personnel for additional instructional assignments within the school. For 2018-2019, 1.6 FTE teaching positions and 2.5 FTE non-instructional positions have been reduced and there are four faculty retirements that are anticipated to reduce salary costs at BMPRSS and BBMS/HS. Other instructional costs absorbed in this category are building-level expenses related to equipment/furniture, supplies and materials, textbooks and contractual obligations.

SPECIAL SERVICES & PUPIL SERVICES SUMMARY

The education of children with disabilities is governed by the following statutes and their accompanying regulations:

The Reauthorized Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA 2004) which imposes on school districts, among other mandates, an obligation to provide all children with disabilities a free and appropriate public education in the least restrictive environment.

Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 which prohibit discrimination on the basis of disability.

Article 89 of the New York State Education Law and Part 200 of the Commissioner’s Regulations which are also the vehicles that implement federal law governing the rights of children with disabilities in New York State.

The Blind Brook-Rye Union Free School District must provide all eligible resident children with disabilities a free and appropriate public education in the least restrictive environment that meets their needs as set forth in the child’s individualized education program (IEP). The District has met its obligation to comply with these laws and has/will have served the following numbers of school-age children with disabilities.

2014-2015 2015-2016 2016-2017 2017-2018 2018-2019

157 162 156 160 161

For 2018-2019, it is anticipated that 161 students or about 11% of the total District’s student body will be classified with special needs as identified by committees on special education (CSE). Of the 161 students it is anticipated that 14-18 students will be attending out-of-district schools.

Overall the expected costs for special/pupil services programs will increase by $289,396, or 5.0% in 2018-2019. This is a result of an increase in out-of-district and BOCES special education tuition costs next year.

The Lower Hudson Regional Information Center, the technology arm of the local BOCES, provides engineering support. A Board-appointed technology planning committee consisting of administrators, teachers, community members and a board representative meet monthly to construct the District technology plan, establish goals, and evaluate the District’s progress in meeting those goals. Every building within the District is fully networked, allowing users to efficiently share data and applications. The District’s website, student information management systems and instructional software are hosted offsite by third-party vendors. Secured, dedicated servers house library software, cafeteria point-of-sale systems, instructional programs and finance databases. All computers in the district are connected to the Internet through filtered access in keeping with CIPA (Child Internet Protection Act) regulations. Additionally, a fully managed wireless networking environment has been implemented. The District libraries are supervised by building administration. The library staff consists of (2) library media specialists and (1) library clerk. Libraries in the District promote effective research strategies as well as information literacy. There has been an increase in the use of digital books and databases over the last few years.

The combined library/technology budget for 2018-2019 is projected to decrease by $18,560, or 1.5%. The decrease is a result of contractual salary cost reductions. Included in this budget are the following for 2018-2019:

Continued use of the SWBOCES LHRIC for tech support services

Software upgrades

Equipment purchases

These budget items will assist in supporting the stated goals of the instructional technology plan: provide an adequate and reliable infrastructure; timely resolution of technical problems; equitable access to hardware and software resources; well-designed ongoing professional development; and technology integration throughout the District. The proposed technology budget will advance efforts to integrate technology to extend and enrich curricula, and improve the manner in which instruction is delivered.

GUIDANCE/HEALTH SERVICES SUMMARY

The elementary, middle and high school counselors in the guidance and counseling department address the academic, personal/social and career development needs of all students by designing, implementing, evaluating and enhancing a comprehensive school counseling program that promotes student success. Counselors provide proactive leadership that engages all stakeholders in the delivery of programs and services to assist and work with students to support their goals and maximize success as they prepare for their role in the ever‐changing 21st century.

The guidance program is delivered through:

A school guidance curriculum designed to help students achieve desired competencies and to provide students with developmentally appropriate knowledge and skills.

Individual student planning to help students establish personal, academic and career goals to include understanding of self and others, and assessment of strengths, weaknesses, talents and skills.

Academic planning that aligns with post high school and career goals.

Responsive services that consist of prevention, intervention and advocacy at the systemic level.

Consultation with parents, teachers, other educators and community resources In addition, counselors work with students to overcome the barriers they face in learning, help students build self‐confidence, to build upon their strengths, to appreciate and celebrate individual

differences and to develop healthy relationships that will contribute to academic and personal success. Counselors facilitate educational evening programs and in-school seminars related to

developmental needs and college and career planning. The department is responsible for assisting students in registering for college related exams and assisting students with disabilities in acquiring accommodations for college related exams. Counselors monitor compliance of 504 policies and procedures and work with special education faculty to ensure student plans are adhered to. The guidance portion of the budget will increase by $37,099, or 3.9% in 2018-2019. This is a result of contractual salary matters and funding necessary to support guidance services in all three of the District’s school buildings. The health services portion of the budget is projected to increase by $1,925, or 0.3%. The increase is a result of an increase in nurse overtime. The guidance/health services 2018-2019 combined budget is projected to increase by $39,024, or 2.4%. Obtain more information at the District’s K-12 Guidance and Health Services link.

INTERSCHOLASTIC ATHLETICS AND CO-CURRICULAR SUMMARY

The co-curricular and interscholastic athletics programs are important parts of the overall education program for Blind Brook’s young men and women. All students are encouraged to take advantage of these exciting programs. The investment in these programs enhances school spirit and morale. It does this by allowing students to work and play harmoniously with others, by promoting constructive use of their leisure time, by developing leadership traits and by furthering their athletic and vocational interests as well as developing new ones. During the 2017-2018 school year, the Blind Brook interscholastic athletic program budget supports the participation of nearly 750 student athletes playing on 49 different teams in 15 sports. The number participants is expected to be about as high in the 2018-2019 school year.

The co-curricular activities budget is increasing by $7,153 or 2.8% as a result of an increase in stipend costs in 2018-2019. The interscholastic athletics budget is decreasing by $21,824, or 3.7% for 2018-2019. The decrease reflects reductions in a number of IA budget lines. Obtain more information about the interscholastic athletics program at the Athletics link.

PUPIL TRANSPORTATION SUMMARY

The Blind Brook-Rye Union Free School District provides pupil transportation for all resident children who legally attend public, private or parochial schools that are between .75 to 15 miles from their homes, as specified by the current Board of Education Policy #5720 amended 5/18/04 (by voter referendum). Any student in kindergarten through 5th grade will be eligible if he or she lives more than ¾ of a mile from school and a student in grades 6-12 will be eligible if he or she lives more than 1½ miles from school. Any resident, now living in the District, who applies for out-of-district transportation for their child/ren on or before April 1 of each year will be provided with transportation (within mileage limits); the District does not accept late applications unless it is submitted by a new resident within 30 days of the date of residency.

The District provides in-district transportation services using its own school buses driven by its own employees (6.0 FTE bus drivers). Private bus companies provide out-of-district transportation services and are more costly than in-district transportation services. The transportation budget is influenced by several variables, including but not limited to the following:

In 2017-2018, the District provides transportation for 1,023 resident students to in-district schools and 77 students attending 30 private and special education schools. It also handles most of its afternoon sports trips using District buses.

The District owns and operates 13 large school buses and one school van that are inspected and maintained by the SWBOCES.

The District must meet all NYSED (training), NYSDMV (drivers) and NYSDOT (buses) requirements for school bus operators.

Budget projections assume:

The current school board transportation policy will remain unchanged.

School start and end times will remain the same (two-tiered routing).

The number of students requesting out of district transportation will remain stable.

The price of fuel will not increase exorbitantly.

The District shares services to out-of-district schools thus saving money each year.

Insurance as well as inspection and maintenance costs will experience no dramatic increases.

The Pupil Transportation budget for 2018-2019 is projected to increase by $63,707, or 4.8% overall. This increase is a result of adding one additional bus driver and rising contract transportation costs in 2018-2019.

Next year, the District must provide transportation for an estimated 80 resident students attending 30 different private and special education schools located outside of the District. It will do this by contracting with private school bus companies. The estimated cost for this contract transportation is $773,579 or $9,670 per pupil. By contrast, the District expects to transport 967 eligible students to in-district schools using its own school buses next year at a cost estimated to be $593,230 or $613 per pupil. The $613 per pupil in-district transportation cost is far more efficient than the $9,670 per pupil cost to transport children requesting service to out-of-district schools. Services provided to students attending out-of-district schools located with 15 miles of their residence are mandated by state education law.

BOCES SERVICES SUMMARY

In literature sent to component school districts the Southern Westchester BOCES proclaims that its mission is:

"To collaborate with district, agencies and communities to meet their educational challenges

by providing regional leadership and cost-effective, high-quality services."

The Blind Brook-Rye Union Free School District’s use of Southern Westchester BOCES services represents about 2.8% of its total proposed 2018-2019 Budget. The five areas of services that the District subscribes to are:

Special educational services for students

Technology support services including student data and financial management services

Cooperative school bus inspection and maintenance services

Athletic services including Section 1 and competition official costs

Various cross-contracts with other BOCES through the Southern Westchester BOCES The District’s decision to purchase these services from SWBOCES represents its belief that it is obtaining the highest quality service in these areas at a more reasonable cost than if it provided the services themselves or through outside vendors. At this time it is projected that the District will subscribe to $1,284,925 in BOCES services during the 2018-2019 school year. This represents a higher level of spending than was budgeted in 2017-2018 by $323,499 or 33.6%. This reflects the new contract with the BOCES LHRIC for technology support services.

Noteworthy is the fact that the District’s 2018-2019 BOCES aid estimate provided by the NY State Education Department per the 2018-2019 Legislative Budget indicates the District will receive $125,710 more BOCES aid than what it expects to receive in 2017-2018 (as a result of the LHRIC contract). More information about these cooperative services can be obtained at the SWBOCES link.

OPERATIONS & MAINTENANCE SUMMARY

The Operations & Maintenance (O&M) budget for 2018-2019 is projected to increase by $39,570, or 1.9%. The budget projections are a result of analysis and estimates of utilities costs, staffing, and reduction in the number of long-range maintenance projects paid out of the general fund next year.

The total District facilities square footage is currently at 297,739. Custodial personnel productivity will be 39,699 square feet per staff person in 2018-2019. The total annual O&M cost per square foot is anticipated to be $7.11 per square foot. Day shift custodians do set-ups, internal deliveries, building repairs, cleaning, grounds work and landscaping during the school day. Night custodians and cleaners do cleaning and set-ups as well as breakdowns. All custodial and cleaning work is performed to Level 2 standard.

DEBT SERVICE SUMMARY

In order to build facilities and purchase fixed equipment the District borrows money to pay for these large expenditures over time. It also borrows money in certain instances when tax refunds to non-homestead taxpayers become necessary as a result of court orders. Consequently, debt service is part of the budget which includes funds for the payment of principal and interest on these outstanding borrowings. At this time the District does not have any outstanding debt as it relates to equipment purchases (school buses, technology equipment, etc.). The scheduled debt service for 2018-2019 is $2,728,935 and each type of payment is delineated on the next page. Noteworthy are the bond anticipation note interest payment for the recently approved construction project and the new tax refund bond interest and principal payments which are both new additions to the budget in 2018-2019. The District’s “old” construction bond debt service schedule for years 2017-2018 through 2025-2026 is provided below. The figures reflect revisions brought about by 2000 bond refinancing completed in March 2011 that will save the District $946,648 in debt service payments and $1,850,000 savings with the October 2014 refunding of 2005 bonds.

The total debt including principal and interest payments for the energy performance contract project is $3,679,220 on an original borrowing of $3,070,767. Debt service payments started in 2015-2016 and continue for 15-years through 2030-2031. Except for lower first and last payments, the annual debt service for this borrowing is $245,282; much of which is expected to be offset by energy cost savings and NYS building aid.

INTER-FUND TRANSFERS

The School District maintains seven individual governmental funds; General Fund, Special Aid Fund, School Lunch Fund, Special Purpose Fund, Debt Service Fund, Capital Projects Fund and Permanent Fund. The General, Special Aid and the Capital Projects Funds, are considered major funds. The District typically budgets for two types of interfund transfers from the General Fund to the:

1. Special Aid Fund 2. Capital Projects Fund

The Special Aid Fund is used to account for revenues and expenditures in connection with federally supported programs and State funded grants operated by the School District. At Blind Brook, the General Fund supports only one of these programs. Each year the estimated costs of providing extended year (summer) school services is determined and 20% of this amount is budgeted as a transfer to the Special Aid Fund. The remaining 80% of funding is provided by the State Education Department. The Capital Projects Fund is provided for school districts to account for capital improvements and acquisitions. Capital projects are budgeted on an individual project basis since legal and contractual requirements will vary from one project to another. The initiation and implementation of a capital project generally requires voter authorization of the funding that may take the form of either obligations or current budgeted funds. Included in the 2018-2019 budget is only one interfund transfer. This transfer is to the Special Aid Fund in the amount of $40,656 providing a 20% offset to summer school special education expenditures anticipated in July and August of 2018. The remaining 80% of funding is provided by the State Education Department and accounted for in the Special Aid Fund. There are no capital projects scheduled in 2018-2019 that will require a transfer from the general fund to the capital fund.

GLOSSARY OF SCHOOL FINANCE AND BUDGET TERMS

The glossary below provides a brief description of most of the school budgeting and financial accounting terms which may be used during the school budget hearings and in the budget document itself. ASSESSED VALUATION: Assessed valuation is defined as the value of real property for the purpose of levying taxes. BASE PROPORTIONS: Base proportions determine how the tax burden is distributed between residential (homestead) and commercial (non-homestead) properties in the municipality. Changes in the base proportion do not change the overall district tax levy, but instead change how much of the tax levy is paid by homeowners and how much is paid by owners of commercial properties. Base proportions are determined by the New York State Office of Real Property Services. BOND: Money borrowed to pay for a school district expenditure. Typically, the money is used for capital expenditures, such as the purchase of buses or the construction or renovation of a building, although in some cases school districts also issue bonds for other large expenditures such as the repayment of back taxes in a certiorari settlement. The goal in borrowing is to spread the cost out over a period of years and lessen the cost to taxpayers in any one year. By definition, a bond is a written promise to pay a specified sum of money, called the face value or principal amount, at a specified date in the future (the maturity date), together with periodic interest at a specified rate. BUDGET: A plan of financial operation expressing the estimates of proposed expenditures for a fiscal year and the proposed means of financing them. An underlying reason for a budget is the achievement of the school district’s specified annual education goals. BUDGET CALENDAR: A schedule of key dates that the board of education and administrators follow in the preparation, presentation, adoption, and administration of the school district budget. BUDGET CAP: Per New York State education law, in the event of a school budget defeat and the adoption of a contingent budget, school districts must cap their spending increase at 120% of the Consumer Price index or 4%, whichever is lower. For more on this, see the definition of a contingent budget. CAPITAL OUTLAY: An expenditure that is generally more than $20,000 and results in the ownership, control, or possession of assets intended for continued use over long periods of time. These can include new buildings or building renovations and additions; new school buses; as well as new equipment (i.e. desks, computers, etc.) and library books purchased for a new or expanded school building. CONSUMER PRICE INDEX (CPI): An index of prices used to measure the change in the cost of basic goods and services in

71


comparison with a fixed base period (also called the cost-of-living index). However, the CPI does not take into account many of the items that cause school district budgets to rise, such as the increasing cost of health insurance, liability insurance and retirement contributions.

CONTINGENT BUDGET: In the event it becomes necessary, a contingency budget is developed based on provisions of education law and Blind Brook Board of Education policy. The School District budget for any school year or any part of such budget, or any proposition involving the expenditure of money for such school year, shall not be submitted for a vote of the qualified voters of the District more than twice in any school year. If the original proposed budget is not approved by District voters at the Annual District Meeting and Election, the Board has the option of either resubmitting the original or revised budget for voter approval at a special meeting held at a later date; or the Board may, at that point, adopt a contingency budget. If the Board decides to submit either the original or a revised budget to the voters for a second time, and the voters do not approve the second budget submittal, the Board must adopt a contingency budget and the tax levy cannot exceed the total tax levy of the prior year (0% levy growth).

DEBT SERVICE: In order to build facilities and purchase fixed equipment the District borrows money to pay for these large expenditures over time. Consequently, debt service is part of the budget which includes funds for the payment of principal and interest on the District’s outstanding construction bond issues, school bus notes, instructional technology notes and tax anticipation notes.

EMPLOYEE BENEFITS: Fringe benefits costs paid by the district on behalf of employees. These amounts are not included in the gross salary. They are fringe benefits and, while not paid directly to employees, are part of the cost of operating the school district. Employee benefits include the district cost for health insurance premiums, dental and vision insurance, life and disability insurance, Medicare, retirement, social security, and tuition reimbursement. EQUALIZATION RATE: In simple terms, an equalization rate represents the average level of assessment in each community. For example, an equalization rate of 80 means that, on average the property in a community is being assessed at 80% of its market value. The words “on average” are stressed to emphasize that that an equalization rate of 80 does not mean that each and every property is assessed at 80% of full value. Some may be assessed at lower than 80%, while others may be assessed at higher than 80%. Equalization rates are established by the New York State Board of Equalization and Assessment. School districts that comprise more than one city, town or village must use the equalization rate to determine the tax rates for each municipality. The purpose is to bring some semblance of equity to how the taxes are distributed in any one school district, so that ideally a home with a full market value of $100,000 in one community will pay the same taxes as a home with a market value of $100,000 in the next community, regardless of how those two homes are assessed. A district at full value assessment does not have an equalization rate (as is the case with Blind Brook). EXPENDITURE: Payments of cash or transfer of property or services for the purpose of acquiring an asset or service.

FISCAL YEAR (FY): A fiscal year is the accounting period on which a budget is based. The New York State governmental fiscal year runs from April 1 through March 31. The fiscal year for all New York counties and towns and for most cities is the calendar year. School districts in the State operate on a July 1 through June 30 fiscal year.

FUND BALANCE: Reserved (restricted) fund balance is the portion of fund balance set aside for specific purposes such as the Reserve for Encumbrances, Reserve for Repairs, Tax Certiorari Reserve, etc. Each reserve fund has certain establishment and use requirements. Unreserved (unrestricted) fund balance is the residual amount of fund balance after all reserves have been taken into account. Unreserved fund balance consists of appropriated (assigned) fund balance and unappropriated (unrestricted) fund balance. Appropriated (assigned) fund balance is the portion of unreserved fund balance that has been used to reduce taxes in the subsequent fiscal year. Unappropriated (unrestricted) fund balance is limited by Real Property Tax Law Section 1318 to an amount not to exceed 4% of the new year’s budget.

FUNDAMENTAL OPERATING BUDGET (FOB): The total amount of money required to pay for current-year programs, staffing, and services at next year’s prices — i.e., what the next year's budget would be if the current year’s budget were simply “rolled over”.

HOMESTEAD: Refers to residential properties.

NON-HOMESTEAD: Refers to commercial properties.

REVENUE: Sources of income financing the operation of the school district generally grouped as tax or non-tax revenues.

SALARIES: The total amount paid to an individual, before deductions, for services rendered while on the payroll of the district. Normally salaries are set by provisions contained in a collective bargaining agreement.

SMALL CLAIMS ASSESSMENT REVIEW (SCAR): Small Claims Assessment Review is the legal process by which a residential property owner can challenge the real estate tax assessment on their property in attempt to reduce the property’s assessment and real estate taxes.

SCHOOL TAX RELIEF PROGRAM (STAR): STAR, New York State’s School Tax Relief Program, is a school property tax rebate program and a partial property tax exemption from school taxes. All New Yorkers who own and live in their home - whether it is a condominium, cooperative apartment, manufactured home, farm dwelling, apartment building or mixed-use property - are eligible for the STAR exemption on their primary residence. For 2017-18 the basic exemption is $88,880 and the enhanced exemption is $194,060.

STATE AID: State Aid is additional money that the state gives to districts, to be used in different areas, such as lowering the tax levy, etc. Until the state passes its budget, the district does not know exactly how much to expect in state aid, but school districts are still required to present their budgets to voters on the third Tuesday in May. To meet that mandate, a district has to estimate its state aid revenues unless the state budget is passed on time. SUPPLIES: Consumable materials used in the operation of the school district including food, textbooks, paper, pencils, office supplies, custodial/maintenance supplies, and computer software. TAX ANTICIPATION NOTE (TAN): A municipal bond, usually with a maturity of less than one year, issued on the assumption that the debt will be paid back with future tax revenue. School districts issue tax anticipation notes usually at the start of a fiscal year to maintain appropriate cash flow to pay immediate or time sensitive obligations. TAX BASE: The assessed value of local real estate that a school district may tax for yearly operational monies. TAX CERTIORARI: The legal process by which a commercial property owner can challenge the real estate tax assessment on a given property in an attempt to reduce the property’s assessment and real estate taxes. TAX LEVY: The total sum of operating funds to be raised by the school district after subtracting out all other non-property revenues including state aid. The tax levy is used to determine the tax rate for property owners in each of the cities, towns or villages that a school district may be comprised of. TAX RATE (MILLAGE RATE): The amount of tax paid for each $1,000 of assessed value of property. In districts that cover just one municipality, the tax rate is figured simply by dividing the total assessed property value by 1,000 and then dividing that again into the tax levy (the amount of money to be raised locally). In districts that encompass more than one municipality, the formula for figuring the tax rate is more complicated. It involves assigning a share of the total tax levy to each municipality and applying equalization rates to take into account different assessment practices. THREE-PART BUDGET: New York school districts must, by law, divide their budgets into three components - administrative, capital and program - and each year they must show how much each portion has increased in relation to the whole budget. It consists of the following components: 1. Administrative Budget Component - These expenditures include office and administrative

costs; salaries and benefits for certified school administrators who spend

http://financial-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/maturity

http://financial-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/Debt

50 percent or more of their time performing supervisory duties; data processing; public information; legal fees; property insurance; and school board expenses.

2. Capital Budget Component - This covers all school bus purchases, debt service on

buildings, and leasing expenditures; tax certiorari and court-ordered costs; and all facility costs, including salaries and benefits of the custodial staff; service contracts, maintenance supplies and equipment; and utilities.

3. Program Budget Component - This portion includes salaries and benefits of teachers and

supervisors who spend the majority of their time teaching; instructional costs such as supplies, equipment and textbooks; co-curricular activities and interscholastic athletes; staff development; and transportation operating costs.

TRUE VALUE TAX RATE: Is what the tax rate would be if assessments of all properties were maintained at 100% of market value. Districts not assessed at full value have the assessed valuation multiplied by an equalization rate set by the New York State Office of Real Property Services. At Blind Brook the actual tax rate is the true tax rate because assessments are set at full-value. A separate true value tax rate is established for homestead (residential) and non-homestead (commercial) properties but sometimes a “blended rate” is referred to which combines the two.

UNION FREE SCHOOL DISTRICT: In 1853, the Legislature established union free school districts, which are districts resulting from a “union” of two or more common school districts, “free” from the restrictions that previously barred them from operating high schools. In July 2004, there were 163 school districts of this type. Despite being able to operate high schools, thirty-one of these districts provide only elementary education. Those districts that are not components of central school districts provide secondary education by contracting with other districts. Each union free school district is governed by a three- to nine-member board of education.

* Statement of assumptions made in projecting a contingency budget for the 2018-19 school year, should the proposed budget be defeated

pursuant to Section 2023 of the Education Law.

In order to put forth a contingency budget with a $0 increase in the tax levy, the District must reduce the proposed 2018-2019 expenditures

by $996,898 from that budgeted. The following procurement items may need to be removed from the 2018-2019 Adopted Budget upon the

approval of the Board of Education:

Personnel ($686,397) Equipment ($126,097), Facilities O&M ($75,000), Textbooks ($74,404) and Consultants ($35,000).

INFORMATION ABOUT EXPENDITURE RATIOS (2015 - 16)(Data are lagged a year.)

Commissioner's Regulations require that certain expenditure ratios for general-education and special-education students be reported and compared with ratios for similar districts

and all public schools. The required ratios for this district are reported below.

The numbers used to compute the statistics on this page were collected on the State Aid Form A, the State Aid Form F, the School District Annual Financial Report (ST-3), and from the

Student Information Repository System (SIRS).

Instructional Expenditures for General Education are K-12 expenditures for classroom instruction (excluding Special Education) plus a proration of building level administrative and

instructional support expenditures. These expenditures include amounts for instruction of students with disabilities in a general-education setting. District expenditures, such as

transportation, debt service and district-wide administration are not included.

The pupil count for General Education is K-12 average daily membership plus K-12 pupils for whom the district pays tuition to another school district. This number represents all

pupils, including those classi ed as having disabilities and those not classi ed, excluding only students with disabilities placed out of district. Pupils resident in the district but

attending a charter school are included. For districts in which a county jail is located, this number includes incarcerated youth to whom the district must provide an education

program.

Instructional Expenditures for Special Education are K-12 expenditures for students with disabilities (including summer special education expenditures) plus a proration of building-

level administrative and instructional support expenditures. District expenditures, such as transportation, debt service and district-wide administration are not included.

The pupil count for Special Education is a count of K-12 students with disabilities for the school year plus students for whom the district receives tuition from another district plus

students for whom the district pays tuition to another district. Students attending the State schools at Rome and Batavia, private placements and out-of-state placements are included.

Instructional Expenditures Per Pupil is the simple arithmetic ratio of Instructional Expenditures to Pupils. The total cost of instruction for students with disabilities may include both

general- and special-education expenditures. Special-education services provided in the general-education classroom may bene t students not classi ed as having disabilities.

Total Expenditures Per Pupil is the simple arithmetic ratio of Total Expenditures to Pupils. Total Expenditures include district expenditures for classroom instruction, as well as

expenditures for transportation, debt service, community service and district-wide administration that are not included in the Instructional Expenditure values for General Education

and Special Education. As such, the sum of General Education and Special Education Instructional Expenditures does not equal the Total Expenditures.

The source data for the statistics in this table were reported through the Student Information Repository System (SIRS) and veri ed in Veri cation Report 5. The counts are numbers of

students reported in the least restrictive environment categories for school-age programs (ages 6-21) on BEDS Day, which is the rst Wednesday of the reporting year. The percentages

represent the amount of time students with disabilities are in general-education classrooms, regardless of the amount and cost of special-education services they receive. Rounding of

percentage values may cause them to sum to a number slightly different from 100%.

This rate is a ratio of the count of school-age students with disabilities (ages 4-21) to the total enrollment of all school-age students in the school district, including students who are

parentally placed in nonpublic schools located in the school district. The numerator includes all school-age students for whom a district has Committee on Special Education (CSE)

responsibility to ensure the provision of special-education services. The denominator includes all school-age students who reside in the district. In the case of parentally placed

students in nonpublic schools, it includes the number of students who attend the nonpublic schools located in the school district. Source data are drawn from the SIRS and from the

Basic Education Data System (BEDS).

Similar District Groups are identi ed according to the Need-to-Resource-Capacity Index. More information is available on our NRC capacity categories page.
