| Hello Hartsdale Community, We hope this email finds you well and enjoying warm weather and spring activities. We are sending out this newsletter with an important update on the 2024-2025 GCSD School Proposed Budget and BOE elections. |
| GREENBURGH CENTRAL SCHOOL DISTRICT NEWS GCSD Budget And Voting The 2024-25 GCSD budget was presented at the April 16th Board of Education (BOE) meeting. The budget document can be viewed on the GCSD website. The School District is proposing a 2.7% increase to the Tax Levy and an overall 3.25% increase to total revenues. This increase is within the allowable tax cap. What Does This Mean For Homeowners? Since taxes are based on the value of your home, your taxes would go up or down based on the projected increase in the tax formula and the value of your home. As an example if your home was worth $607k in 2023 and has increased in value by 4.88% in 2024 to $636.6k, your school tax bill would increase by 4.51% or $400. The final budget hearing is scheduled for May 7th and the Budget Vote is scheduled for May 21st. Board of Education Candidates Night GCSD’s PTA is holding a Meet The Candidates Night on May 1st at 7PM in the Middle/High School Cafeteria. The event will also be live streamed on the GCSD YouTube channel and available on YouTube for later viewing. There are three opens seats for the Board of Education with three year terms from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2027. The election will take place on May 21st. There are five candidates running for the open seats: Christopher Macaluso Kiana Washington Rebeca Sampelayo Adonia Manns Christine Valin |
