* Provide a statement of assumptions made in projecting a contingency budget for the 2021-22 school year, should the proposed budget be defeated pursuant to Section 2023 of the Education Law.

The 2021-22 tax levy amount would remain the same as the 2020-21 actual tax levy amount. As a result, the 2021-22 proposed budget must be adjusted to reflect the reduction in tax collection. The 2021-22 budget reductions include the elimination of all equipment purchases (per Education Law), elimination of public newsletters, reduction of staff development, elimination of community recreation and reduction in materials and supplies purchases.
