Byron-Bergen Central School District

									

			

Proposed Budget 2019-20

Dear Byron-Bergen Community,

The Byron-Bergen Central School District Board of Education unanimously adopted the proposed 2019-20 budget during their April 9, 2019 meeting.

Each year’s budget process requires meticulous data analysis and extensive collaboration between
the Board of Education, administrators, teachers, and staff; this year is no different.We are pleased to present the proposed 2019-20
Byron-Bergen Central School Budget of $23,545,342.The proposed budget aligns with our goal of continuous academic improvement and supports innovation and college and career readiness.

The following Propositions and Election of Board Candidates are on the ballot for May 21, 2019:

Proposition 1: 2019-20 Proposed Budget

The $23,545,342 proposed budget projects a 2.38% increase.The budget was balanced utilizing the increase of State aid, Fund Balance, and Reserves.The proposed tax levy is less than Byron-Bergen’s “allowable” tax levy limit (cap) of 3.20% for the 2019-20 school year. The Board of Education authorized a tax levy limit of 2.91%.
This will enable us to go out under law with a simple majority vote. If the towns/villages in our District stay at or under their allowable tax caps, residents will receive a Property Tax Relief Credit.

Proposition 2: Bus Purchase Proposition

This proposition includes purchasing 2 buses and 1 minivan.The State aid ratio is approximately 85%, making the net local share per bus $17,850 and $3,525 for the minivan.The estimated average cost for the bus proposition is $2.16 per year on a house valued
at $100,000.

Proposition 3: Capital Reserve - 2019

This proposition is asking for voters to authorize the District to create an account to set aside money for long-term or large scale projects (such as a future capital project). If the District has unspent money remaining at the end of the school year, the Board would be authorized to transfer some of the extra money into the Capital Reserve account. By law, the “life” of a Capital Reserve can be no
more than 10 years.The total amount of money that can be transferred with Board authorization during these 10 years cannot exceed $2,000,000 unless the voters approve a future proposition increasing the cap. In addition, these monies cannot be used by the District for any other purpose.The District currently has $52,093.05 in a capital reserve which is ending and we would like to transfer these monies into a new capital reserve.

Proposition 4: School Vehicle Reserve - 2019

Proposition 4 is asking for voters to authorize the District to create an account to set aside money for future school vehicle purchases. If the District has unspent money remaining at the end of the school year, the Board would be authorized to transfer some of the extra money into the School Vehicle Reserve account. The total amount of money which could be transferred cannot exceed $500,000 unless the voters approve a future proposition increasing the cap. Funding this reserve and using it to purchase vehicles in the future would save the District money. We would not incur such costs as attorney fees, financial advisor fees, or interest on the monies borrowed. In addition, the District is still able to receive the 85% in aid from New York State on the purchase of the vehicles.

Board of Education Trustee Election:

Three Board of Education trustees will be elected to serve a three year term beginning July 1, 2019. See page 6 for candidate’s information.

School bus proposition

The district will have a proposition to purchase replacement school buses on the ballot on May 21, 2019 in an amount not to exceed $261,500.The proposition includes the purchase
of 2 buses and 1 minivan. If approved, the district will purchase two (2) 70 passenger buses and (1) minivan.With the purchase of these vehicles, the district will continue to have the fleet of 30 school vehicles on a 9 year replacement schedule.

Byron-Bergen receives approximately 85 % State transportation aid on school bus purchases, which means the district will receive $222,275 in aid with the remaining $39,225 local share being financed over five years ($7,845 each year).The impact of $7,845 on the levy is less than $0.021 per thousand of assessed value or $2.16 on a $100,000 home per year.

Bus Proposition Funding Source

State aid $222,275 (85.0%)

Summary of bus proposition: • Proposition amount = $261,500 • Proposed # of vehicles = 3
• State transportation aid = $222,275 • Local share = $39,225
• Local share per bus = $17,850 • Local share per van = $3,525
• Tax increase for a $100,000 home = $2.16/year

Local share $39,225 (15.0%)

Meet the Board of Education Candidates Statements as prepared by the candidates

Kimberly Carlson
I am seeking re-election to the Byron-Bergen Board of Education. I want to continue to be a part of a tremendous effort to offer our students a quality education and encourage their future endeavors, as well as work together with the Board to do so within the school budget.
I have been involved with the Character Ed Committee in the Junior/Senior High School, which gives me insight into the effort being made to teach our kids to “Be Respectful, Be Responsible, Be Accountable, and Be Your Best Self.”
I have also served on the SOAR Committee which allows our students to collaborate with other districts to share in athletics and music.

My husband Keith and I have lived in Byron for 19 years and are enjoying raising our three sons, who all attend Byron-Bergen.

Jennifer VanValkenburg
My name is Jenn VanValkenburg and I am seeking re-election to the Byron-Bergen Board of Education. I have served two 3-year terms on the Board so far and would really like to continue my service for another term. On the Byron-Bergen School Board, I have served on the Audit, Budget, Building and SOAR committees. I want to continue to help make positive changes for Byron-Bergen, and also promote the mission of B-B of inspiring, preparing, and supporting our students.

I am a 1990 Byron-Bergen graduate and got my undergraduate and Masters Degree at SUNY Geneseo. I have been a special education teacher at Pavilion Central School for 25 years and have served on the Board of

Yvonne Ace-Wagoner
I am seeking re-election on the Board of Education to continue serving the Byron-Bergen Community and do what is best for all children in the District.As a rural district, we face challenges, in equitable funding versus other larger districts in our state. Children deserve the
same opportunities and high-quality education no matter where they live.Although our District has faced economic challenges we have found creative ways to provide the best possible education and programs to students.A strong Board of Education and engaged community is critical to continue this mission.As a Project Manager by trade I bring a business perspective with experience in budget management and

I work Per Diem as an OB/GYN sonographer. My husband owns a small business that I help him with. This gives me perspective on the financial challenges that small business owner’s and community members face.

It is a very delicate balance as the school is faced with unfunded mandates, the need to keep our schools safe and in good condition, while wanting to offer our children the best education that we can. I will strive to be a fiscally responsible board member.

The children of our district are my biggest priority. Many face overwhelming challenges. My hope is that the school would be a place where our students feel safe, valued, and cared for as they are preparing for life.

Thank you so much for the opportunity I’ve had. I would be honored to serve the students and community again.

Directors at the Gillam Grant Community Center for 14 years. My husband Dan and I have two freshman daughters; Ella in high school and Dana at University of Buffalo.We feel that Byron-Bergen prepared Dana for a successful transition to college and that Ella is being challenged as well. I am proud of all that our small school has to offer despite what sometimes seems like a limited amount of resources.
I believe that our B-B Board of Education continually attempts to find ways to grow and change. If re-elected, I will do my best to listen and make thoughtful decisions
regarding the various issues that affect our students, school, and community. On May 21, I would appreciate your vote. Thank you for your consideration.

my volunteer experiences include advocacy which are both important skills in the current educational climate.

My overall goal as a School Board member is to ensure the District is doing what is best for students.This includes offering the best possible programs led by talented,
enthusiastic teachers. I want to continue advocating for our rural District whenever possible. Byron-Bergen is a family-focused, tight-knit community that truly exudes the old adage “It takes a village.” I would be honored to continue to be a voice for the community and be a part of preparing students to be well-rounded, caring, compassionate, productive members of our community.

6     Byron-Bergen Central School District

Proposed Budget 2019-20

Answering your tax-related questions

Q. What is Byron-Bergen Central School’s budget for next year?

A. The proposed budget is $23,545,342. This represents a budget-to-budget increase of 2.38%.

Q. What is Byron-Bergen’s allowable tax levy limit?

A. Under the law, Byron-Bergen can establish a maximum tax levy limit of 3.20% for a simple majority vote. The proposed tax levy increase for 2019-20 is 2.91%; we are in compliance with the law.

Q. How will the property tax relief credit be calculated?

A. The property tax relief credit will be a percentage of a homeowner’s STAR benefit, with lower income receiving a higher percentage benefit.

Q. Is the STAR program still in effect?

A. Yes. The STAR program is in effect. Basic STAR entitles the eligible homeowner to a $30,000 reduction in taxable value, which is a 30% decrease in school taxes. The homeowner eligible for the Enhanced Senior STAR will see a $68,700 reduction in taxable value, which represents a 68.7% decrease in school taxes. (These values are based on a principal residence valued at $100,000). Starting April 2019, taxpayers have an option to switch to the STAR credit instead of receiving the STAR exemption on the school tax bill. For more information, please see the following NYS website at www.tax.ny.gov/star/default.htm.

Q. How do new homeowners apply for their STAR benefit?

A. For homes purchased after August 1, 2015, the homeowner will need to register for the STAR credit through New York State rather than applying with your assessor. For these homeowners a STAR credit will be received in the form of a check from New York State directly.

Q. What affect does an increase in property assessments have on my school taxes?

A. Increases in property assessments can cause an increase in your tax bill to be greater than the proposed 2.91%. Please note, the school is not involved in any increases/decreases with your
property assessment. If you have any questions with regard to your assessment, you should address your town tax assessor.

Q. Why is the School presenting Proposition #3, asking for voters to establish a reserve fund titled “Capital Reserve-2019”?

A. NYS Education law requires us to receive voter approval to create and fund any Capital Reserve.A Capital Reserve is similar to a “savings account” where money is held and allowed to earn interest. Any money held in a Capital Reserve can only be used towards
a Capital Project. Capital Project work and use of money from a Capital Reserve must be authorized by the voters.The purpose of Capital Reserve is to lower the amount of money a school borrows to pay for the cost of a Capital Project. Lowering the amount of money borrowed, lowers the amount of interest paid.

Q. Why is the School presenting Proposition #4, asking for the voters to establish a reserve fund titled “School Vehicle Reserve-2019”?
A. NYS Education law requires us to receive voter approval to create and fund a School Vehicle Reserve. Much like the Capital Reserve, the School Vehicle Reserve is similar to a “savings account” where money is held and allowed to earn interest. Once enough money is accumulated, the School would use the funds accumulated to purchase future school buses outright and stop borrowing money. Using cash to purchase future school vehicles used to transport students, enables the school to save money by eliminating
attorney fees, financial advisor fees and interest incurred on borrowing money.
