Half Hollow Hills Central School District 2010- 2011 Proposed Budget
Continuing Challenges for 2010/11 Run an efficient system without
negatively impacting programs for our students Governor’s Gap Elimination Plan would reduce our state aid by a net of $2.7 million. Unfunded mandates and cost shifts. The MTA Tax, implemented for the 2009/10 school year, will continue in 2010/11. This will cost HHH over $400K and is included in the current budget proposal. To date no reimbursements have been received.
Looking Ahead to 2011-2012 Federal Stimulus (ARRA)
funding is set to end Additional reductions in State Aid We thank our teachers and administrators for opening existing employment contracts and agreeing to freeze their salary schedules for the 2011/12 school year.

This aid is for districts with an Administrative Efficiency ratio (central office administration expense to total expenditures) of less than 2%. The Half Hollow Hills administrative efficiency ratio is 1.54%, the 9th lowest on Long Island. ‰This aid could potentially return $211,824 in funding to the District for the 2010/11 school year
