North Bellmore UFSD Board of Education Meeting February 8, 2018
Transportation Proposition The proposed proposition requests to change the transportation mileage limit for students in grades 4-6 from one-mile to one-half mile at a cost of $610,000. Q: What is the current school policy on transportation? A: Current school district policy provides transportation for students in grades K-3 living more than one-half mile from school and for students in grades 4-6 living more than one mile from school. Q: If a school district budget is presented under the tax levy cap and the addition of a proposition creates a budget over the state-mandated cap, what level of voter approval is required? A: A supermajority (60 percent) is required for the budget and transportation proposition because the sum of the budget and proposition exceeds the tax levy limit.
Transportation Proposition Q: If the district proposes a budget within the tax levy cap, but the addition of a transportation proposition results in a budget that exceeds the cap, what would happen in the scenario where the budget fails but the transportation proposition passes? A: The district must provide the additional transportation service approved by the voters within the contingency budget (zero percent tax levy increase). Q: If the district proposes a budget within the tax levy cap, but the addition of a transportation proposition results in a budget that exceeds the cap, what would happen in the scenario where the budget is approved but the transportation proposition fails? A: There is no mandate to provide the additional transportation service. The budget can be implemented only as approved.
Transportation Proposition Q: Are districts still required to adopt a contingent budget under the tax cap? A: Yes. If voters do not approve the proposed budget initially or after a revote, a district must adopt a contingent budget, excluding the same non- contingent items as defined currently. The contingent budget will be subject to a cap where the school district can levy no more taxes than it did in the prior school year.
