Intentional misinformation is again being circulated in the community about the District’s budgeting and finances. The District presented the facts in its most recent budget presentations to counter this misinformation, yet the anonymous authors of the most recent flyer being circulated have once again chosen to ignore the facts in an effort to mislead the community. We encourage all residents to review the videos from those budget presentations, the budget materials on the District’s website, and the information presented in the budget revote edition of The Educator, or to reach out to the District before they head to the polls on June 21st. Happy Father's Day!

The proposed budget supports the district’s continuing initiatives, such as the new math, science and social-emotional learning programs, as well as project-based learning and career exploration opportunities, among others. A portion of the proposed budget also supports students who do not attend West Hempstead Public Schools. Over $6 million (around 9%) of the proposed budget would cover costs for students who do not attend schools within the district. Those costs include transportation, special education and health services, textbooks and staffing. ******** El presupuesto propuesto respalda la iniciativas continuas del distrito, como los nuevos programas de matemáticas, ciencias y aprendizaje socioemocional, así como aprendizaje basado en proyectos y las oportunidades de exploración profesional, entre otros.

The proposal represents a reduction of $256,000 from the initial budget. In addition to using more fund balance, where did the reductions come from? • Savings from the realignment of middle and high school administrative staffing due to the creation of a secondary school. • Additional savings from retirements not known when initial budget was developed. • Negotiation of teachers' contract. • Actual costs of insurance premiums. This cost is less than the estimate provided to the district when the initial budget was presented. • Elimination/reduction of some administrative software. • Elimination of a teaching position. ***** La propuesta representa una reducción de $256,000 del presupuesto inicial.
