School District Issues Survey of Budget Issues

The Three Village Central School District wants to hear from its residents regarding the school budget, and to do so, administrators have created a survey via SurveyMonkey.com.

The survey was posted on Monday and will be "live" for several more days.

In a statement on the district's website, interim superintendent Neil Lederer said the goal of the survey is to "garner as much input as possible as we build a budget for the next school year."

“Obtaining the opinions of our residents will enable us measure the perceptions and priorities for budget planning," Lederer said.

The survey consists of nine questions focusing on the state's 2 percent cap on the tax levy increase a school district can propose, including a question that directly asks whether residents would support a budget that goes over a 2 percent increase.

Last May, voters that included a 3.8 percent tax levy increase with 59 percent of voters supporting it.
