A MESSAGE FROM YOUR BOARD OF EDUCATION Dear Community Members,

May 2018

In the pages of this newsletter, and on the District’s website (www.hhh.k12.ny.us), you will find all the information you need to make an educated and informed decision when you head to the polls on May 15, 2018. The Half Hollow Hills Central School District Board of Education worked diligently to propose a 2018-2019 budget that provides for all the student programs and services that have come to distinguish our District as one of the very best on Long Island. Furthermore, the proposed budget also includes program additions and enhancements for students across all grade levels.

We are proud to present the Half Hollow Hills 2018-2019 school year budget with an increase to the current year’s budget of 2.24%. Please take time to review this special budget issue of The Herald so that you will be able to make an informed decision when voting on Tuesday, May 15.

Sincerely, The Half Hollow Hills Board of Education Eric Geringswald, President Betty DeSabato, Vice President Diana Acampora Stephanie Gurin David Kaston Adam Kleinberg Michael Prywes

PILOTs $4,290,231 MISCELLANEOUS $2,922,000 STATE AID $31,646,046

REVENUE SUMMARY WHAT IS A CONTINGENT BUDGET? State law requires school districts to submit a budget to voters for approval the third Tuesday in May. If this proposed budget is defeated, the Board of Education has the right to go directly to a contingent budget or submit the same or a revised budget to voters for a second vote. If the proposed budget is defeated a second time, the Board of Education must adopt a contingent budget. Under a contingent budget, the Property Tax Levy Cap legislation requires school districts to keep the property tax levy the same as the prior year without any allowances or exclusions.

For Half Hollow Hills, this means a reduction of approximately $4.9 million in a contingent budget­.
