Haldane's monthly Board of Education business meeting will be held Tuesday, March 6 at 7:00 pm in the Board meeting room. A draft agenda, a proposal for the 9D fields project and other meeting documents are now posted on the Haldane School website home page.  

We are now well into budget season and school districts and taxpayers are attempting to understand the intricacies of the tax cap and trying to find the money to pay for its programs. Following is testimony of the New York State School Boards Association to the Joint Legislative Fiscal Committees on the 2012-2013 Executive Budget. David Little, Director of Government Relations for the New York State School Boards Association, offers his analysis of Governor Cuomo's education budget and how school districts are coping, and he offers some advice for ways the state can help school districts survive as times get tougher.
