The Sayville Board of Education voted to adopt the amended proposed budget on April 23 that lowered the proposed increase to 3.7 percent.
While contingencies were made to allow for the nearly $3.5 million deficit in foundation aid from New York State, the legislature restored the funds. With the budget meetings commencing in late fall of 2023, assistant superintendent for business, certified public accountant, Rhonda Meserole, said, the “challenging” process had been “collaborative and thoughtful. “The revised proposed budget is a budget-to-budget increase of $3,979,740 or 3.9 percent.
This, however, will result in a decrease in the projected tax levy increase of 3.7 percent as opposed to the original 3.996 percent proposed earlier in the year.
With the maximum allowable levy cap at 3.996 percent and the proposed budget coming in under that, only a simple majority of the votes will be needed for approval.
