Newburgh Enlarged City School District 2011 – 2012 Proposed School Budget 2011 – 2012 Newburgh Free Library Budget
How is a budget created? • By using information from the prior years’ financial statements, current revenues and expenditures, debt service commitments, cash flow, collective bargaining agreements, capital plans and new or pending legislation • With knowledge of current economic conditions, interest rates and input from taxpayers or other interested groups • With the needs to deliver the best, affordable education possible to the students of the district
New Governor Same Problems • New York State is Broke • Governor Cuomo’s aid package to Newburgh calls for: • $15 million gap elimination adjustment (Cut in State Aid = Shift to Local Taxpayers) • No relief in State mandated expenditures
Loss of State Aid • Newburgh’s “gap elimination adjustment” totaled $14,974,434 • This is an automatic increase of 15% in taxes to the taxpayers if the budget remains the same • (Approximately every $1 million = 1% in taxes)
