Plumbing behind one of the walls that they had to re-root um and work at Valley will start this summer and correct me if I'm wrong yes but is scheduled to be finished by March uh sooner than March they they hope to
be done by around the break uh the Christmas break okay less involved than Hills because I know Hills had some asbest abatement that need to be done removal chairs so um I think the big question that was asked was will uh will the drama department and students have
everything that they wanted and more and I think the answer to that is yes so um much thanks to Administration for you know ensuring that we're able to provide a state-of-the-art um Auditorium in in both buildings uh on
the 10th we discussed primarily the uh the Hills uh seaing stadium and bleacher um for the um soil
remediation or erosion um that work uh is ahead of schedule should be completed sometime by hopefully end of May prior to graduation um there were some cables that were exposed that required a little more um

likely be meeting although it's not uh confirmed yet next week uh for further updates um some of the highlights were the fact that the estimated tax levy this year is going to be 3.42 which will exceed the 2% um because
of the continued Rising uh cost with health insurance um the state aid will be increased slightly however that'll be quickly offset by some additional uh new expenses such as Natural Gas and Electric increases of an
excess of 177% um we have um some extra things coming our way with special ed related Services uh Staffing uh I know that as um some of the retirements come up depending on

environment addition of 17 new clubs between both schools on to capital projects this year we're budgeting one Capital project at $1.6 million and it is to replace the media center rooftop unit at pasak
Valley high school and these are our sources of revenue for the 2526 budget our total revenue this year this upcoming year will be 69 million 9224 of that number 85% or 59.6 million
will be the local tax levy including Debt Service Capital maintenance and emergency Reserve withdrawals will make up just over $2 million or 3% a fund balance of approximately $2.6 million
will be used we're also budgeting $767,000 of tuition that's where other districts pay to send students into our programs um and we're also budgeting $843,000 for miscellaneous Revenue which
would be interest earned on our bank accounts as well as facilities rental use and other miscellaneous items that arise during the year federal and state aid make up 6% of our budget of Revenue at approximately
$3.9 million this slide compares the revenues between what we're projecting for 2526 as opposed to this year 2425 so you will see that we are increasing the use of fund balance by approximately
$90,000 in the curent in the future 2526 budget tuition and miscellaneous revenues are also budgeted to increase in the upcoming year our tax excuse me our tax levy has also
increased for the 25 26 budget year we are using less Capital maintenance and emergency reserves than we did in the prior year and our state extraordinary and semi Aid are actually showing a decrease
in the 2526 school year and the reason is while we did get an increase in state aid of 6% we are using less extraordinary Aid in our budget this year or I'm sorry for 2526 and this is because we're taking a
conservative approach because the allowable costs for special ed are um becoming less and less qualified for the extraordinary Aid reimbursement so the general fund total for revenues this year is
67 approximately 67 million dollar on to the budget expenditures you'll see that of the $67 million budget $19.5 million was spent on our instructional regular programs employee benefits make up approximately
$10.3 million Support Services these Services can be for um guidance child study team attendance and health services at just over 8 million operations and
maintenance are costs associated with the maintaining and safety of our buildings for $6.7 million tuition costs are tuition where we send our students either special ed students to out of District programs or
this can also be for the bermies and Bergen County Technical Schools that's $5.6 million instruction for special education those are our in-house programs at 4 .5 million Transportation $3.7
million Athletics is just over $2 million budgeted co-curricular just under $675,000 and capital outlay at $1.7 million that includes what we like to call our
Capital project budgeted at 1.6 million and The Debt Service that we pay back through our state aid payment at $106,000 approximately also the interest deposit to our reserves is $7,000 budgeted for the next school
year so this slide shows these expenses we just talked about on a pie chart um you will see that the regular instructional programs take up about 29% of the budget employee benefits are about 15 and a
half% support services at 12% operations and maintenance about 10.1% of the budget tuition at 8.4 and then the amounts get smaller as you go on with administrative support at
5.8% special education instruction 6.8 Transportation at 5.6 Athletics at 3% our capital outlay is 2.6% and other in co-curricular at about 1.1% so on this slide we're showing our
expenditures again but we've regrouped them to highlight how different areas of the budget are spent we wanted to highlight that salaries account for $ 36.3 million of our budget employee benefits remain the same as the prior
slide at $10.3 million services are about $5.8 million tuition at 5.6 and the rest say fairly in line transportation supplies and textbooks at
1.5 million utilities are approximately $1.13 million other is $771,000 and then Capital outlay again at 1.7 million dollar this this slide shows those costs
regrouped in the pie chart you'll see that salaries are approximately 54.2% of the budget on their own and employee benefits make up 155% now out of this total pie chart if you actually took Capital outlay out of
the equation at the 2.5% the H the salaries and benefits alone would be approximately 71 a half% of the budget our 2526 budget so the general fund tax levy is 57
m582 399 this is a 3.4 2% increase this includes the use of the health care adjustment that we were afforded due to the rising health care costs $792,000 um factors that contributed to
our increases for from the 20242 budget going into 2526 budget are an increase in special education programs and services at approximately $386,000 operations maintenance at
$383,000 and Athletics and co-curricular increases at $113,000 some of the increases in athletics and co-curricular are due to the addition of clubs as well as the increased officials fees
on to taxation why is there a difference among the sending districts in the amount of taxes needed to support the regional budget the formula for tax sharing among the sending districts is strictly governed by New Jersey education law the
board of education has no taxing Authority the tax formula is based on taxable property wealth and student enrollment a calculation is performed each year Year by the state to arrive at the municipality's tax levy this is
known as percent share so again the total tax levy for 2526 will be 59 m652 199 you can see on this chart that the percent share varies with Hillsdale at
the lowest at 22745 per and Montvale this year at the highest at 26.68% % and the taxes are allocated accordingly so the overall
increase is 3.33% and this is different than that 3.42 we mentioned earlier because this accounts for including The Debt Service which brings debt that total percentage down a little bit this chart shows the the tax effect
on each of the municipalities for the 2025 year so in Hillsdale the average assessed home at 476 683 would make a 2025 tax of
3,774 and the estimated annual increase would be $121 21 with an increase per month of $10.10 in Montville the average assessed home is 549,000 the 2025 tax is
$3,770 and the estimated annual dollar increase is 38 cents an increase per month of three cents in Rivervale the average assessed home is $592,000 the 2025 tax is
$3,949 the estimated annual dollar increase is $54.95 and the increase per month is $458 in Woodcliff Lake the average assessed home is $944,000 here we show eight years
of tax history which shows percent share and the increase or decrease for each municipality the main thing to see with this chart is that you can see the fluctuations and how it varies from year to year some years a town can have a
decrease another year they can have an increase and it's always fluctuating and we keep track of that on a rolling basis and always present eight years worth of information does the board have any questions anyone questions that was terrific Cindy thank you oh thank thank
