Goal 1: To increase the extent to which the faculty and staff of the school district are ethnically, linguistically and, in gender, more representative of the student population with whom they work Goal 2: To develop a five-year fiscal plan for the district, updated annually, which identifies anticipated revenues and planned expenditures for staff, facility upkeep, and curricular material purchases Goal 3: To enhance staff and public understanding of, and support for , the goals and work of the school district Goal 4: To bifurcate the annual development of a five-year facility plan to bring greater focus to the day-to-day needed maintenance of the facilities, as contrasted with the longer-term, higher cost major maintenance work Goal 5: To enhance the effectiveness with which instructional and administrative technology is used within the District Goal 6: To ensure that the goals of the instructional program of Valley Stream UFSD Thirteen not only meet but exceed the standards of the developing Next Generation Standards of New York State

The Property Tax Cap

• Signed into Permanent Law. Was set to expire in 2020.
• Applies to the tax levy, not the homeowner’s property tax rate
• Calculated by an 8 step formula created by NYS that all school districts must use
• Some exceptions are permitted to determine the Allowable Tax Levy limit
• 2% “Tax Cap” DOES NOT EQUAL 2% increase in taxes
• A 60% majority vote is necessary to pass a budget that exceeds the tax levy above

the calculated limit; and conversely a 50% majority of the voters is necessary to pass a budget within or below the tax levy limit

• The cost to educate a student is $22,953 (2017-2018 data)
