HOW TAX DOLLARS ARE SPENT

About 80 percent of every school budget is an investment in people. Contribution rates for the state retirement systems will increase next year. Higher contribution rates paid by employees for health insurance help to offset increases in premiums.

SOURCES OF REVENUE

Property taxes comprise by far the largest source of revenue. Like many Long Island school districts, Roslyn receives little aid from New York State, which provides less than 8% of the district’s overall funding. Reserve funds help to keep the tax levy steady from year to year, in addition to providing a revenue source for long-term expenses, like capital improvements, that fall outside the annual budget.

AS OF APRIL 7, 2022

The linked document includes 11 different ways of viewing the proposed budget for 2022-23. Each of the five organizations of the budget (function, object, location, program and administrator) includes both a summary and a line-by-line document.   

WHY? The function code indicates why something is allocated in the budget.

WHAT? The object code describes the specific item or service.

WHERE? The location code tells us where the item or service is being provided.

WHICH? The program code specifies which part of the program the item or service is allocated for.

WHO? The administrator code identifies the individual who is responsible for the budget item. 

The budget reflects an increase of 2.93% over 2021-22 and includes all changes in staffing and services and materials and equipment as approved by the Board of Education.  The proposed increase in the tax levy is 2.48%, significantly less than the state levy limit of 3.70%.

Included in each of the "Summary" and "Line by Line" sections are actual expenditures for 2016-17, 2017-18, 2018-19, 2019-20, 2020-21 as well as the adopted 2021-22 budget, the proposed budget for 2022-23, and the difference in percentage between the proposed budget and the current budget. The "Detailed" budget includes the actual expenditures for 2021-22, the current budget, and the proposed budget for 2022-23 as well as a description of each item the district plans to purchase under each budget code.
