Tuesday May 17 is the vote for the Scarsdale School Budget and nominees for the Scarsdale School Board.
The proposed budget for the 2016-17 school year is $150,454,297 which is a 1.63% increase over the 2015-16 school budget and would mean a tax levy increase of .63% which falls below the calculated tax cap of .81%. As the budget does not exceed the tax cap, it can pass with a simple majority vote.
The budget includes $1,251,931 for plant improvements at Edgewood and Scarsdale Middle School as well as district wide roof repairs, brick repointing and paving. That's a $496.931 increase over last year's plant improvement budget.
Also on the ballot will be nominees for the School Board who were selected by the Scarsdale School Board Nominating Committee.
Board members Leila Maude and William Natbony are on the ballot to serve second three-year terms while Nina Cannon is running for election for the first time. This year, Maude served as the President of the Board of Education and Natbony as Vice President. Read statements from the candidates here:
Voting will take place at the Scarsdale Middle School on Tuesday May 17 from 7 am to 9 pm.
A Board of Education meeting will be held on Monday night May 16th. At 7 pm the Board will hear a report from the Middle School and High School principals on Innovation Practices and Instructional Focus at the middle and high schools.
At 8 p.m. the Board will conduct a business meeting and many people with concerns about the Greenacres School are expected to speak. You can watch the session on Scarsdale Cable Television on attend the meeting in rooms 170-172 at Scarsdale High School.

Scarsdale Votes for Clinton and Kasich

Though the statewide election results from the New York State primaries on Tuesday April 19 were widely publicized, most don't know how their neighbors in Scarsdale voted.
The Westchester Board of Elections has released the vote counts for the Democratic and Republican primaries in Scarsdale. There's no surprise that Hillary Clinton was a big winner here, getting 2,203 votes to Sanders 584 or 79% of the vote.
The Republican results were a bit more interesting. It turns out that Scarsdalians did not favor frontrunner Donald Trump, instead giving John Kasich their votes. Out of a total count of 917 votes, 458 went to Kasich, 345 to Trump, 110 to Ted Cruz and 4 to Ben Carson.
A few of Hillary's Scarsdale fans went to her White Plains campaign headquarters on primary day where they met former President Bill Clinton.
Pictured above are Aaron Mark, BK Munguia, Michelle Lichtenberg and former Mayor Carolyn Stevens with the President Clinton.

Raiders Lacrosse Team Falls to White Plains and Mamaroneck

Scarsdale Boys Lacrosse have had an exhilarating season. With a 7-0 start to the season the boys were met with a tough upset as they fell to White Plains on Thursday 4/14. The team faced off against rival Mamaroneck on Tuesday 4/19, and suffered another loss despite strong preparation.
The game started with a goal in the opening minutes
by Junior William Cabrera, 1,0 Scarsdale. Mamaroneck quickly returned with a goal to tie the game. A goal by Freshman Andrew Bernstein returned the lead to the Raiders and Cabrera's reach around goal made it 3-1 before the end of the quarter. Halfway through the second quarter Mamaroneck closed the lead to 3-2, then 3-3. Mamaroneck scored again to take the lead for the first time of the game, now 4-3. Mamaroneck added to their lead twice more to make it 6-3. Sophomore Rob Rolfe responded to make it 6-4, then 6-5 with a goal coming from Junior Captain Cooper Schneider before the end of the quarter, and another at the start of the 3rd quarter.
Schneider completed his hat trick and returned the lead to the Raiders. Senior Captain Andre Cutrim added his first as the Raiders took a 8-6 lead before Mamaroneck returned to close the lead. Cabrera then gave the two goal lead back to the Raiders but Mamaroneck countered and tied the game up, then taking the lead. Adding another two before the end of the 3rd quarter, Mamaroneck lead 12-9. Mamaroneck scored again at the begging of the 4th quarter, but Cabrera ended the Raider's scoring drought as he added a quick goal. Mamaroneck responded with another two to make it 15-10 as Rolfe came back with a goal for the Raiders. Mamaroneck retaliated with three to quell the Raider's momentum, 18-11. Bernstein and Rolfe added two but it was too late, final score 18-13, Mamaroneck.
Scarsdale, now 7-2, will look to end their two game losing streak with games at Eastchester on Thursday 4/21, and Tappan Zee on Saturday 4/23. The Raiders seek to gain back their momentum in the latter part of the season as they edge towards playoffs."
