2007-08 SCHOOL BUDGET The links below are for the budget adopted by the Board of Education on March 29, 2007 and which was subsequently approved by the voters on May 15. An expanded coding system enables the budget to be analyzed in a variety of ways, as shown in the five budget summaries. For example, if you wish to see how much is being spent in a particular program area, you can find that in the Summary by Program; or, if you wish to know how much is being spent in a particular school, you can find that in the Summary by Location. [Important Note: The 2007-08 budget documents have been significantly revised compared to those of prior years. Changes in the coding system have resulted in many instances in which costs have been reallocated to more appropriate budget codes. As a result, many budget lines appear to have either increased or decreased significantly when, in fact, they merely reflect changes in allocation rather than in program or expense. The budget narrative and Scope newsletter can help to differentiate between changes in budget amounts and changes in allocations.] Budget Summaries: Budget Summary by Function Budget Summary by Object Budget Summary by Program Budget Summary by Location Budget Summary by Administrator Charts: Why is the Budget Increasing by 5.4%?

Tax Rate Summary The district was notified by Nassau County Assessor Harvey Levinson on September 10, 2007 that the adjusted base proportions and the actual taxable assessed values certified by the Nassau County Legislature resulted in a slight difference in the tax rate for homeowners. The final class 1 tax rate for 2007-08 will be $527.59 per $100 of assessed value. For the average homeowner in the Town of North Hempstead, this means that the tax bill for 2007-08 will be $11,844 instead of $11,789 which is the amount that we had projected at the time of the budget vote in May. Attached is a summary page for the 2007-08 budget which includes the actual calculations. You may use the Tax Calculator to determine the actual changes in your taxes.
