Message From the Superintendent |
|
Winter
2009-2010
|
|
By Matthew McGarrity
I would like to begin by thanking all of our community
members and the District Transportation Committee for their
support of the bus vote on January 13. This allowed us to
continue to upgrade our fleet using reserve funds, and not
incurring more debt or raising taxes.
As we work through the budget this spring, now more than
ever, we are mindful of the financial challenges that
schools, businesses, and individuals are facing. Governor
Paterson’s proposed budget cuts education aid dramatically,
but as the legislature works with the Governor, we will have
more information later in the budget cycle.
Our district committees, including facilities and finance,
are working on a variety of issues. The state’s EXCEL monies
have allowed us to make recent improvements in various
buildings and we will continue to monitor the maintenance
needs of the district. Our continuous efforts toward
maintaining our facilities will lessen the need for larger,
more expensive projects in the future. The continued support
from the community, including donations, gifts and time,
allows us to maintain the quality programs we offer. Please
remain involved with the District and invested in our future
and our children.
Sincerely,
Matt McGarrity
Superintendent of Schools
