Residents Voice Support for Proposed Scarsdale School Budget

We are residents of Scarsdale and the Mamaroneck Strip -- young and old, community volunteers and leaders, families and empty-nesters, and all points in between -- who will vote "YES" to support the Scarsdale School Budget.

We urge you to Vote "Yes" because:

• The Budget maintains class size practices at all levels, K-12, and foreign language studies and instrumental music at the elementary schools.
• The proposed Fitness, health and learning center and plant upgrade will serve all SHS students -- male and female, athletes and non-athletes -- for years to come.
• The renovation is an essential first step to accommodate future growth needs and flexible/collaborative learning opportunities.
• The Budget proposes among the lowest year-over-year budget growth rates in years, and the non-personnel budget is reduced from what it was five years ago.
• Draining reserve balances further to fill some of the gap would leave an even larger revenue hole next year and in future years, leading to further program cuts or large tax spikes.
• A defeat of the budget would likely lead to over $700,000 in cuts (with High School teacher and librarian positions among the first cuts likely to be considered).

Please take the ten minutes to drive to the Middle School between 7am and 9 pm and vote in favor of the 2013-14 budget.

Help achieve the required 60% supermajority 'Yes' vote.

Help preserve the national-landmark Scarsdale public education system that makes Scarsdale the special place it is.

YOUR VOTE WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE, THIS YEAR MORE THAN EVER!!

Thank you.
