NORTH SHORE SUPERINTENDENT REPORTS BRIGHTENING FISCAL OUTLOOK AS BUDGET SEASON NEARS

Picture
November 23, 2013 North Shore Schools Superintendent Dr. Ed Melnick reported at Thursday evening’s Board of Education meeting that the fiscal outlook for next year's budget is much better than expected.  The brightening forecast is due to a reduction in the anticipated district contribution to the Teachers’ Retirement System (TRS), lower than expected health insurance premiums, and what appears to be near certainty that the tax shift from the Glenwood Landing LIPA ramp down will have far less of an impact on residential tax rates in the short term than once feared.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

VOTE YES ON THE BOND ON DECEMBER 3

Christine Hughes, Sea Cliff

I am writing in support of the proposed Infrastructure Bond (“Bond”) that the North Shore School District (“District”) will vote on December 3, 2013.  I make this recommendation because the Bond is the only responsible way to finance required infrastructure projects.  As a former attorney for the New York City Buildings Department, I have witnessed the devastating results of failing to maintain critical infrastructure.
