Scarsdale Public Schools
Office of the Superintendent of Schools
April 22, 2013
The 2013-14 budget proposal has been designed to sustain a broad, deep and vibrant Scarsdale education and to enhance it modestly, consistentwith our Mission.
The proposal preserves class size and course offerings, a strong program of extracurricular activities, and healthy investment in research,evaluation and professional development, so we can continue to advance the quality of programs and teaching. It also funds well-maintainedfacilities and provides traditional student services such as transportation. In focus groups and at the voting booth, residents have consistently saidthey support these priorities.
The proposal also includes funding to provide more adequate technology staffing and to improve building security, among other efforts. And itallocates funds from a longstanding construction reserve to renovate space for the fitness/wellness center, which is currently overcrowded,
marginally unsafe, and unfriendly to female athletes.
At the same time, we all recognize the economic environment in which were working. Some desirable measures the extension of Mandarininstruction to the Middle School, for example, have been deferred until a more favorable time.
Decisions about this years budget require a sense of context.
The proposal projects growth of 2.47 percent and tax growth of 3.93 percent. Two main factors are responsible.
First, approximately 70 percent of budget growth is due to a State-mandated increase in retirement costs.
The retirement system funds its obligations through a combination of market investment, participant contribution, and charges to school districts.When markets are strong, districts typically contribute a smaller portion of the total cost; when they weaken, districts are required to pay more.Since average return over the past five years the period on which charges are based has been relatively low, districts have been required to pickup a larger portion of the total cost. Reforms in the retirement system will moderate the amount charged to localities in the future, but they willnot affect budgets in the short term.

ii
Second, $1.6 million (about one-third) of the projected tax levy growth is due to a local decision to reduce reliance on fund balance. The Districtsreserve funds have been drawn down substantially in an effort to reduce tax impact.
This decision was part of a long term strategy aimed at minimizing the Districts exposure to future fund balance shortfalls, as well as reducing theamount of taxpayer money held in anticipation of future needs. As a result, the budget includes $2.0 million less from surplus to reduce taxes in2013-14 than it did in 2012-13 (partially offset by an additional $660,000 taken from reserves.) That is why the percentage of tax rate growth ishigher than the percentage of budget growth.
It is important to recall that over the last four years, weve wrung what we could out of programs and services without having a significant impacton students. The 2012-13 budget for everything other than personnel and plant improvements is $2 million lower than it was in 2008-09. We alsohave 23 fewer staff than we did in that year.
These changes notwithstanding, Scarsdale has been able to weather the economic downturn more successfully than many school districts. Still,budget choices are becoming increasingly difficult.
Over the years, as I said, the public has demonstrated both its support for education and an interest in budget control. While different individualsand groups have seen value in different programs and services, residents have broadly trusted that the Board of Educations proposals reflected acarefully considered overview of the challenges, opportunities and issues facing both schools and community. This time-tested process hasresulted in long term investment that has produced a superior education.
As we go forward, residents will consider these matters thoughtfully, as they always do. I am fully confident that the result will be a financial planconsistent with the communitys best vision of itself and of its future.
Sincerely,
Michael V. McGill
Superintendent of Schools

PROPERTY TAX LEVY CAP & FIVE YEAR BUDGET COMPARISON
Property Tax Levy Cap
The property tax cap law, enacted in Chapter 97 of the Laws of 2011, restricts tax levy
increases for local governments, most school districts and other smaller independent entities,
such as library, fire or water districts, to no more than 2 percent, or the rate of inflation,whichever is lower (prior to allowable adjustments). State law requires localities to calculate
their tax levy limits and report their computation information to the Comptrollers office before
they adopt annual budgets.
Most local governments can override the cap with a 60 percent vote by their governing body.
In the case of a school district, 60 percent of the voting public must approve the override.
For school districts, Education Law 2023-a specifies a cap of the lesser of 2 percent or
inflation (the tax levy limit), but not less than the prior years levy. This baseline cap is thenadjusted by several factors to produce a maximum allowable tax levy limit. This levy limit
can be higher than 2%.
The increase in the levy serves as a threshold or trigger for determining what percentage ofvoters will be required to approve the budget. Exclusions from the cap include pension cost
increases greater than 2 percent, certain large legal expenses (tort actions), and the local share
of capital expenditures.
If a district seeks an increase greater than the tax levy limit, approval by 60 percent of voters is
required. If the district requests an increase at or under the limit, approval by a simple majority
(50 percent plus one vote) suffices. Districts are permitted two chances to obtain voterapproval. If voters do not approve the budget in the second vote, the levy is capped at the prior
year levy.
This proposal calls for a tax levy increase in excess of the tax cap, which requires a 60 percent
approval in the current year.
See page 14 for the calculation of the current years tax cap.

At the High School, many classrooms have carpet that is glued to vinyl asbestos tile (VAT) beneath. $120,000 is requested for abatement, which issufficient for 6-8 rooms.
Funds are requested to expand the commons area at the High School - $40,000 to provide additional cafeteria seating. An additional appropriation of $325,000 is requested for the High School Fitness Center to renovate the large unfinished space under the new gymnasium.
This new location is approximately three times the size of the locker room formerly under consideration. This request also assumes that the $300,000allocated to the auto shop renovation will be transferred to this project.
$365,000 is requested for roof and masonry repairs on all seven buildings. We request $235,000 for the replacement of all classroom and office door locks. Occupants will be able to lock doors from the inside, but the lock sets
will still allow egress without having to locate a key, as required by New York State building codes. They will be installed with master key access toprevent inadvertent lockouts or pranks.

Special Items
This section of the budget contains items that are District-wide in nature. They are, in effect, part of the cost of doing business inherent inany organization. These include liability insurance, District memberships, BOCES administrative assessments, and an allowance for tax
certiorari claims.
1. District InsuranceThis line provides for the purchase of District-wide liability insurance from the New York Schools Insurance Reciprocal, a not-for-profit consortiumowned by the component school districts. This includes general property and liability policies, flood insurance, board liability, surety bonds, and an
umbrella policy, as well as student accident insurance from a separate carrier. The budget shows and increase of $36,567, or 3.73%. The bulk ofthese funds provide for general liability, automobile liability, and Board liability policies.
2. District MembershipsThis line provides for District memberships in state, local and national school boards associations, and various curriculum-related organizations.
3. BOCES Administrative and Facilities FeesThis line represents a required assessment from the Southern Westchester BOCES for administrative costs, as well as rental fees for classroom spacein lower Westchester.

This budget provides custodial supervision for community activities in the schools and District census information. The costs in the first
three categories below are for custodial overtime. Negotiations between the District and the custodial and secretarial unions for 2013-14 is
ongoing.
Funding for the Scarsdale Teen Center is also included here; the proposed budget recommends maintaining the current funding for the
Teen Center at $65,000. As a result, the total Community Services budget will remain level.
Recreation Department
This is custodial overtime related to use of school buildings by the Villages Recreation Department. The school is not reimbursed for these costsunless the activities take place on Sundays. We continue to work with the Recreation Department to limit and condense facility usage, particularlyduring vacation periods, to yield savings in custodial overtime and energy consumption.
Community Groups
This is custodial overtime related to use of school buildings by community groups other than the Recreation Department or by PTAs when they areusing buildings for fundraising purposes. The District is reimbursed for this overtime by the groups using the buildings.
School Functions
This is overtime related to use of buildings for school-related activities that take place after normal hours. There is no reimbursement for thisovertime.
Teen Center
This budget includes funding for the Scarsdale Teen Center at the same funding level as last year. Responsibility for the Teen Center has been sharedjointly by the Village and the School District.
Census
This line provides for continuation of the Districts census information function. It provides for a full-time clerical position that reports to theAssistant Superintendent for Personnel and Administrative Services, as well as for the Districts demographic services.

This portion of the budget includes funds for the payment of principal and interest on the Districts outstanding bond issues and installment purchasearrangements.
In September 2008, the District refinanced the outstanding balances of the January 2000 and December 2000 debt, saving $544,000 over a sevenyear period or an average of $78,000 per year.
In October 2010, the District refinanced the outstanding balances of the June 2002 debt, saving $2.7M over a nine-year period or an average of$300,000 per year.
In September, 2011, the lease financing for the Energy Performance Contract was also refinanced, saving $958,000 over a twelve and a half yearperiod or an average of $77,000 per year.
In June 2012, the District refinanced the outstanding balances of the February 2004 debt, saving $1.0M over a seven-year period or an average of$147,000 per year.
The Business Office periodically reviews the remaining debt (only the 2004 issuance remains) to determine if it can be refinanced at a savings,
despite the existence of call provisions and other penalties attached to this more recent debt issue.
This category also includes installment purchase payments for the Districts long-range technology plan as noted on p.42. The District is planning topurchase $1,128,000 in computer equipment as a continuation of its long-range replacement plan, which represents the first increase in this area sincethe inception of the program. Both borrowing costs and the cost of equipment have decreased, which have increased purchasing power. SeeAppendix J, page 4.
In 2010-11, the District entered into a five-year lease offered on New York State contract to pay for 20 copiers District-wide. Please see Appendix
J, page 5.
