December 15 State Aid Payment Cut by 10%
New York State made the sudden decision to cut aid to school districts, leaving school boards with the challenge of trying to manage budgets, which were voted on and funded months ago, with unanticipated mid-year cuts. At the 12/15/09 Board of Education meeting Superintendent Villanti reminded the audience that the Board tried to anticipate these state aid shortfalls, and their prudent planning will mean that Haldane will not suffer. However, the future of state aid remains uncertain, and larger cuts are anticipated expected in 2010. New York State’s fiscal crisis will likely prompt the Board to take this into account as they craft the spending plan for 2010–11.

Backlash against New York State: http://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local-beat/Schools-Teachers-Sue-to-Stop-Aid-Cuts-79441917.html
I was surprised to learn at a recent PTA meeting, that the school has kept its reliance on state aid to 14%, less than most districts. While even this percentage can have a great impact on our programs, it is nice to know Haldane should be able to weather this storm.
