Message from the Superintendent

Dear Members of the Croton-Harmon School Community,

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your continued support of our schools. In these difficult economic times, we remain committed to providing the children with an education that will prepare them to be successful in the world of the 21st century.

The major source of funds to finance schooling is property taxes paid by school district residents and businesses. This system has been in place for many years. New York State provides aid to schools, as this is a major responsibility of state government. Unfortunately, as New York State experiences its own budget crisis, more and more of the burden for the support of schools has shifted from the state onto the shoulders of the local taxpayer. Revenue to support schools from sources other than the local taxpayer has been declining at an alarming rate.

Reflections from the Board President

Dear Parents, Guardians and Community Members,

With the annual School District Budget and Trustee Vote fast approaching, I would like to take this opportunity to remind and encourage all eligible residents to exercise your right to vote. The vote is set for Tuesday, May 15, 2012 at Croton-Harmon High School, between the hours of 6:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m.

The budget process this year has been quite challenging, particularly in the absence of real mandate relief under the new New York State Property Tax Cap law. I want to thank everyone who participated in this year's "Budget Saturday" and in the "World Cafe'" in which the Board and more than 100 community members gathered together for an informal and informative dialogue about the 2012-13 budget and how it should address our programs for students and the impact on our taxpayers. Your feedback was extremely helpful to us in developing a budget that is representative of our mutual goals.
