Board Adopts 'Flexible' and 'Responsive'
2020-2021 District Budget

The 2020-2021 Mamaroneck School District Proposed Budget was adopted Tuesday evening by the Board of Education.  In formulating the budget, Superintendent Dr. Robert Shaps stressed the need to be fiscally responsible and responsive to financial challenges faced by the community, while ensuring that the District has adequate resources to invest in high-quality educational programs and experiences for all students.  The Superintendent  and the Board trustees reiterated the following points:

• In response to the global COVID-19 pandemic's financial impact on our community, the Proposed Budget reflects $1.4 million in reductions since the March 3, 2020 presentation.
• Proposed Budget takes into account the fluidity and unknowns relating to the public health crises (from both financial and educational delivery sides) and provides the needed flexibility to react, adjust, and develop programs and learning experiences as conditions and requirements become known.
• To adjust for revenue loss (State Aid, county sales tax, interest income), the District could potentially face difficult decisions around mid-year cuts. Maintaining the quality of teaching and learning and preserving the classroom experience would continue to be prioritized.
• Proposed Budget reflects a multi-year strategy laying a foundation for the years ahead.

In accordance with New York State Executive Order 202.26, the school district budget vote and election of trustees will be held exclusively by absentee ballot. All ballots must be received no later than 5 pm on Tuesday, June 9, 2020.  For detailed budget information, including registering to vote, how to qualify to vote, and voting by absentee (ballots will be mailed by the school district to all qualified voters, together with a postage paid return envelope), visit the budget section of the Mamaroneck School District website.
