* Provide a statement of assumptions made in projecting a contingency budget for the 2023-24 school year, should the proposed budget be defeated pursuant to Section 2023 of the Education Law.

The 2023-24 tax levy amount would remain the same as the 2022-23 actual tax levy amount. As a result, the 2023-24 proposed budget must be adjusted to reflect the reduction in tax collection. The 2023-24 budget reductions include the elimination of all equipment purchases (per Education Law), elimination of public newsletters and reduction in postage, elimination of Alumni Hall of Fame Inductee program, elimination of open weight room for students, elimination of some BOCES services, reduction in staff development, and reduction in building insurance coverage.

** List Separate Propositions that are not included in the Total Budgeted Amount: (Tax Levy associated with educational or transportation services propositions are not eligible for exclusion and may affect voter approval requirements)
