A Message From the Superintendent and the Board of Education President

Dear Residents,

We are pleased to present you with the 2017-2018 spending plan for the Windsor Central School District. As always, it is our goal and challenge to develop a spending plan that is fiscally responsible to our tax payers, in both the short and long term, while maintaining the strong education programs that are important to our students’ success. We continue to utilize a zero-based budget model and have examined all programs with a critical eye to ensure they remain effective and are operated in an efficient manner. We have carefully scrutinized each line of the budget to confirm the proposed spending is necessary and appropriate. We have given great attention to maximize revenues, and are once again not using reserves to balance the budget. This is critical to the long-term financial health of the district.

The goal of this proposed budget is to provide students with a number of diverse programs, giving them many opportunities to continue to grow and be successful. The proposed budget reflects a 2.96% increase in spending. This increase will provide us with additional opportunities to enhance and maintain our strong programming. We will also be able to again expand our popular and fast-growing summer program to accept more students and increase the activities we offer.

The proposed 2017-2018 tax levy reflects a 2.47% increase from the 2016-2017 budget. The tax levy limit requires districts in New York State to apply an eight-step formula to determine the tax levy increase a district can propose. We have applied this formula to determine our proposed tax levy for this proposed budget. Once again, we have stayed within the tax-levy limit. Though the final tax rates will not be known until August, we anticipate that the average homeowner will see a minimal increase to their actual tax bill.

Our students continue to excel. Whether on the athletic fields, in the science lab, or in many of our extra-curricular activities, our students are thriving. The Windsor Central School District continues to be a leader in the region in technology integration, as we have made it a goal to make sure our students are prepared for the 21st century workforce. The Windsor Central School District is one of only five school districts in the nation to be recognized this year as a 21st Century Learning Exemplar School District. The P21 Exemplar Program, instituted in 2013, identifies and showcases schools that are equipping students with the 21st century skills they will need to succeed in college, career, and life. Our Project Lead the Way program has established an engineering pipeline for grades K-12. This budget maintains all of our current programs, including recent increases to our Advanced Placement course offerings in the high school, which led to its recognition as an AP Honor Roll School. We have also partnered with Binghamton University to increase student opportunities both during the school year and in the summer months. In addition, for the 11th consecutive year, we have earned the School Safety Excellence Award (Titanium Level) from Utica National Insurance Company. We are incredibly proud of the success of our students and staff.

We invite all residents to attend a public hearing on Tuesday, May 9, 2017, at 6:00 p.m. in the Windsor Central High School Library to share your thoughts or questions. The District vote will take place on Tuesday, May 16, 2017 from 10:00 a.m. until 8:00 p.m.

Please review the enclosed material which includes the Board of Education candidates and the 2017-2018 three-part budget. If you have any questions, we encourage you to contact the superintendent at 607-655-8216 or [email protected], or visit our website (www.windsor-csd.org) for more information.

Sincerely, Jason A. Andrews, Ed.D. Pete Nowacki Superintendent of Schools Board of Education President

Board of Education Candidates 2017-2020This year the following Board of Education seats are scheduled for election:

Nominating petitions for these seats have been received by the following individuals. Their names will appear on the May 16, 2017 ballot:

1. A two-year term ending June 30, 2019 for the seat previously held by Gina Calisi.2. A three-year term ending June 30, 2020 for the seat currently held by Kathy Swezey.3. A three-year term ending June 30, 2020 for the seat currently held by Carin Shaffer.

RHEA DEYO- I am a 1996 graduate of Whitney Point High school. I attended Broome Community College and the SUNY Institute of Technology at Utica/Rome where I graduated with a BA in Business Administration. I have worked for the past 15 years at HealthNow, where I am a Technical Project Manager.

My husband Jerry and I moved into the Windsor School District in 2006. We have been highly active participants in our community since our eldest daughter, Grace, entered Kindergarten at CR Weeks in 2011. We have three daughters: Grace, who is in 5th grade, Ella, who is in 2nd and Adelaide, who we are hopeful will enter pre-kindergarten in the fall of 2017.

I am currently the President of the CR Weeks TPC, the school’s PTA group. Over the course of my four-year tenure I have established our website, created our logo and marketing materials, and our online and credit card payment systems for TPC goods sold. The TPC has raised about $20,000 for a new playground at CR Weeks. More importantly we have increased involvement and excitement amongst our students, parents and teachers.

I have coached Windsor Youth Soccer for the past four years and became League Coordinator this past season. I have also coached Town of Kirkwood youth basketball for four seasons and have a great working relationship with Town of Kirkwood youth sports. In January, 2016 I was contracted as the Director for the Town of Windsor Youth Sports Advisory Board. I have restructured Windsor Youth Sports and created the Windsor Youth Sports and Recreation (WYSR) organization into a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit.

I firmly believe that the Windsor School District is the best in the area. My career experience, technical prowess, experience as a coach and insight as a parent will lend themselves well toward being a productive member of the Board of Education.

KATHY SWEZEY- I am a graduate of the Windsor Central School District and currently live in Kirkwood, NY with my husband of 25 years and our four children, Nate, Hannah, Ben, and Grace. We decided to settle in the Windsor School District due to our wish to have our children grow up in a small-town community and to attend the schools I had fond memories of.

I have Associate Degrees in Liberal Arts and Nursing from SUNY Broome and a Bachelor’s Degree in Health Services Management from SUNY I.T. I am also actively pursuing a MBA specializing in Health Care Management. I am a licensed NYS nursing home administrator and currently the Executive Director of Good Shepherd Fairview Home in Binghamton. I am a member of Leading Age NY and experienced in advocating at the State Legislative level. I am a Project Lead and sit on the Executive Committee of Care Compass Network, part of the NYS Medicaid Redesign Team efforts to assist in developing an integrated health care system. I also sit on the Perkins Grant advisory panel for SUNY Broome.

I feel that Windsor is unique with its global educational view from a rural community perspective. This view creates an atmosphere of innovation, creativity and diverse learning experiences for students, teachers and community members. My interest in continued involvement with the School Board stems from wanting to contribute to my community and be able to strive toward quality outcomes for our children, collaborating with administration, staff, students and community members.

CARIN SHAFFER- Over 40 years ago, I entered C. R. Weeks Elementary School under the watchful eye of Mr. Spicer, and the Windsor Central School District has been part of my life ever since. My husband, Jon, and I both graduated from the district and currently we have a son in Windsor Central High School. During my tenure as a Board of Education Trustee, we have had to make some difficult decisions, but more often than not we have made decisions that have excelled our district to a new level. As I reflect upon my tenure I am very proud of our accomplishments as a district and am confident that we, the District, will continue to strive towards excellence.

As a parent, teacher and tax payer, I believe it is important to ensure a balance between strong educational programming and fiscal responsibility. I want the absolute best for our children without adding pressure to our already strained pocketbooks. I believe that my background gives me a unique perspective which allows me to make decisions for the district in an intelligent and responsible manner.

As a steward of the District, I promise my continued commitment to our children and the community. I respectfully ask for your support in re-electing me to the Windsor Board of Education on Tuesday, May 16.

District Year-Round Walk-in Voter RegistrationNew York State Law requires that a resident must register before being permitted to vote. Anyone having voted in a school election within the last four years is already registered to vote. Anyone registered to vote with the Broome County Board of Elections is deemed registered for the school election.

For any resident who would like to register to vote, the Windsor Central School District now offers walk-in registration on any regular business day between the hours of 1:00 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. at the office of the District Clerk.

Prospective voters must register by May 11, 2017 to be eligible to vote on the annual school budget and election of Board of Education members on May 16, 2017.

Voting LocationsSection 7-202 of the Election Law no longer allows the use of lever machines. Schools are now mandated to use scanning machines or paper ballots for voting. Windsor Central School District will be using paper ballots this year. This will bring us in compliance with the new requirements in the most economical and efficient manner.

Election Law also requires that all eligible residents must vote only at the polling location assigned by Broome County Board of Elections.

Explanation of NYS Tax Levy LimitUnderstanding NYS tax levy limit as it related to Windsor CSDThe New York State tax levy limit legislation limits the annual growth of property taxes levied by school districts to two percent or the rate of inflation, whichever is less. However, it is important to note that this “two percent” is just one part of a complex, eight-step formula schools are required to calculate in order to establish the tax levy limit their district may submit to the voters for approval by a simple majority. Because the law also includes several exceptions and allowances to the levy limit (i.e. capital local expenditures, court orders, and employee/teacher retirement costs when required contribution rates increase by more than 2%), the tax cap can actually be higher than “two percent.” These factors that contribute to the calculation of the tax levy limit will vary from year to year and district to district. In order for you to understand how the Windsor Central School District’s tax levy limit was calculated for the 2017-2018 school year, please see the table to the right, as it is a summary of the multi-step formula used to calculate this figure.

Property Tax RebateYou may be eligible for a property tax rebate

Is there a property tax rebate this year?Yes. The property tax rebate was established in the 2015 Enacted State Budget. It is separate from the more well-known property tax freeze credit that provided credits to eligible taxpayers in 2014 and 2015. The property tax rebate applies to the years 2016 through 2019. It is a tax rebate for taxpayers receiving a STAR exemption. In order to be eligible for the rebate, taxpayers must meet income (make $275,000 or less) and residency requirements of the STAR program and live in a district that complied with the tax cap.

Is the Windsor CSD complying with the tax cap?Yes. The Windsor Central School District is requesting a Tax Levy increase of 2.47%. See Tax Levy Calculation and explanation on previous page

What does it mean for the Windsor CSD tax payers who meet the requirements?According to NYS Tax Law 606 n-1 in 2017, for a taxpayer who owned and primarily resided in real property receiving the basic STAR exemption, the amount of the credit shall equal the STAR tax savings associated with such basic STAR exemption, multiplied by the following percentage:

Tax Levy

Tax Rate

Tax Levy, Tax Rate, Equalization and PILOT

The total amount of property taxes a school district must collect to balance its budget, after accounting for all other revenue sources including state aid. The tax levy is the basis for determining the tax rate for each of the towns or villages that make up a school district.

Windsor Central School District Proposed Tax Levy (2017-2018):• $14,350,584 (2.47% increase over 2016-2017)

Individual dollar rate per thousand of assessed value of a given property that is used to calculate a yearly tax billNote: Residents approve the tax levy, not the tax rate.

QUALIFIED GROSS INCOME PERCENTAGE NOT over $75,000 28.0% Over $75,000 but NOT over $150,000 20.5% Over $150,000 but NOT over $200,000 13.0% Over $200,000 but NOT over $275,000 5.5% Over $275,000 NO CREDIT

NOTE: For a taxpayer who owned property & primarily resided in real property receiving the enhanced STAR exemption, the amount of the credit shall equal the STAR tax savings associated with such enhanced STAR exemption, multiplied by 12.0%. Amount of credit may NOT exceed school district taxes due.

EXAMPLE FOR ILLUSTRATION PURPOSES ONLY

Basic STAR Exemption = $600.00 Income LESS than $75,000 REBATE: $600 X 28% = $168.00

PILOTs are one of the main tools local Industrial Development Agencies (IDAs) use to encourage businesses to locate in their jurisdictions. Under such an agreement, a company makes some fixed yearly contribution to a municipality or school system rather than pay property taxes. The amount paid is typically lower than what the company would have paid if it was taxed normally.

School officials have no role in negotiating the terms of PILOTs.

The equalization process is designed to assure equitable property tax allocation among taxing jurisdictions in New York State. Therefore, based on the equalization rates, tax rates in each town may increase or decrease at different rates. The school district has no direct or indirect control over the calculation of the equalization rates. The final tax warrant is approved by the Board of Education in August.
