Dis trict Bud get Vote Set for Wednesda y With less than a week before its proposed budget for the 1971-72 school year faces voter reaction at the polls next Wednesday, the Bayport - -^lue Point School District finds itself at an impasse in negotiations between its teaching staff and the Board of Education. At a negotiations session held April 26, negotiators for both the Board of Education and the Bayport-BIue Point Education Association , representing teacher* in salary and fringe benefit negotiations , mutually agreed that they are at impasse. The following statement was made jointly by the two groups : "The Board and Teacher negotiators of the Bayport-BIue Point School District find themselves at a state of impasse for the 1971-72 contract. The services of the Public Employment Relations Board have been requested. We are all optimistic that the services of the Public Employment Relations Board will help us to resolve our problems." The impasse- the failure to agree on matters of salary and other issues-is the first, to be announced in this area , but educational authorities on all levels predict that the financial crisis now faced by education and taxpayers will cause this to be "the year of the im- passe " in many districts. A spokesman for the Bayport-BIue Point District reports officials are currently awaiting a decision by PERB as to whether it will send a mediator in an effort to resolve the stalemate , or go directly to the fact-finding step, which results in a study and recommendations by the PERB representative. Meanwhile , district residents will gather for the district annual meeting at 8:30 p.m. Tuesday, May 4, at the gymnasium of the James Wilson Young High School , Bayport. Voting will be Held from 2 to 9 p.m. Wednesday, May 5, at the James Wilson Young High School . The total of the proposed 1971-V2 budget is $5,551, 565, an increase of $453,977 over the previous budget . The anticipate tax rates for the budget are as follows: The estimated true value of Bayport- BIue Point for'next year will" be--$67, -863 ,839. This will produce an an- ticipated tax in Bayport of $17.82 per-SlOO ^of assessed valuation , an increase of 87 cents over the previous rate ; and $25.17 per $100 in Blue Point , and increase of $1 25 per $100 in the tax rate The dif- ferences in the tax rates between Bayport and Blue Point are the result of the differences in the equalization-rates in effect in the towns in which they lie. Blue ' Point is in Brookhaven Town , while Bayport lies in Islip Town. While the votes differ , the taxation is equal. It is important to note that the budget totals to be put before the public next Wednesday do not include any raises other than normal increments for advancement on the salary scale. Increases bey ond the normal increments will increase the total of the budget in this category, and will result in an additional tax rate increase to cover. Many school districts have put off their annual voting day in order to complete negotiations before voting on their budgets , and to get firmer pictures of state aid revenues they will receive.
