Did you know? It is important to understand that the school district budget supports all school-aged students in West Hempstead, not only students who attend the West Hempstead public schools. In addition to supporting public school students, the budget covers significant costs related to students who attend schools outside of the district, including students at BOCES, charter schools, and private and parochial schools. Those costs amounted to approximately $12 million of total spending in the 2021-22 school year (about 18% of total expenses). ***** ¿Sabías? Es importante entender que el presupuesto del distrito escolar apoya a todos los estudiantes en edad escolar en West Hempstead, no solo a los estudiantes que asisten a las escuelas públicas de West Hempstead. Además de apoyar a los estudiantes de las escuelas públicas, el presupuesto cubre costos significativos relacionados con los estudiantes que asisten a escuelas fuera del distrito, incluidos los estudiantes de BOCES, escuelas chárter y escuelas privadas y parroquiales. Esos costos ascendieron a aproximadamente $12 millones de gastos totales en el año escolar 2021-22 (alrededor del 18% de los gastos totales). Si el presupuesto no se aprueba el 20 de junio, el distrito deberá adoptar un presupuesto de contingencia (consulte el recuadro en esta página), que afectaría a todos los estudiantes de West Hempstead.

Congratulations to our SS Seniors who will be closing one chapter and starting a new one this Fall! We wish you the very best and remember, once a Ram, always a Ram! #RamPride #RamCulture
