NS Board of Education HoldsTown Meeting/Budget Hearing, Thursday, May 5,
HS Library, 7:30 PM

There will be a BOE/Town Meeting on Thursday, May 5, at 7:30 pm in the North Shore High School Library which will include a public reading of the budget (Proposition 1). Also, on the North Shore Schools ballot this year will be Proposition 2. The district is asking for permission to establish a Capital Reserve Fund for a period of 10 years that will be funded up to a maximum of $8.5 million dollars. If approved, the reserve will include the following building projects:
  • Glen Head School: Replacement of 1995 boilers and 1950 septic tanks; renovation to the nurse’s office; air conditioning in the library and cafeteria
  • Glenwood Landing School: Replacement of 1950 septic tanks, exterior doors, and interior ceramic tiles; air conditioning in the library and auditorium
  • Sea Cliff School: Replace windows on the second floor, exhaust fans in the halls and stairways; new flooring in the 1st and 2nd floor classrooms on the east side of the building; walk-in refrigerator and freezer; air conditioning in the cafeteria
  • Middle School: Renovate boys and girls locker room; air conditioning in the cafeteria
  • High School: Replace entire cafeteria ceiling/install LED lighting; replace sidewalks in the rear of the buildings and around the courtyard; air conditioning in the gymnasium
  • Central Office: Re-pipe existing hot water heating system; excavate and waterproof entire perimeter of the building and foundation; install new generator to power building; level floors
The Capital Reserve is a fund set aside to use for specific projects that are related to school buildings and grounds. Instead of incorporating the costs for these capital projects into future budgets which likely increases property taxes, a Capital Reserve Fund enables the completion of these projects without increasing the annual budget.
 
The Town Meeting format provides all district residents with the opportunity to engage in direct dialog with Trustees related to any issues pertaining to our schools. The Trustees encourage all interested community members to attend this meeting. Also on the agenda for May 5th is the Guidance Review Action Plan
