Contingency Budget DW

EAST RAMAPO CENTRAL SCHOOL DISTRICT

Under a Contingency Budget, the District's Tax Levy for 2019-2020 must be the same (or less) than the Tax Levy for 2018-2019 (0% increase). For our District, this means a decrease of $3,786,525 in Tax Levy revenues.

slide-57
SLIDE 57

A Contingency Budget funds only teachers’ salaries and those items the Board determines to be “ordinary contingent expenses.” Ordinary contingent expenses have been defined under law to include:

  • legal obligations;
  • expenditures specifically authorized by statute;
  • and other items

necessary to maintain the educational program, preserve property and ensure the health and safety of the students and staff.
