Dear BCSD School Community,
Tuesday, May 19th’s budget vote and capital project referendum are critically important.
Please vote at the Central Administration Building (2035 Monroe Ave.) from 7 a.m. – 9 p.m.
Facts about the budget:
• The proposed tax increase is 3.98%; exceeding the cap does NOT impact STAR or rebate checks.
• A failed budget vote would require significant program cuts.
• The capital project referendum will NOT increase taxes and primarily funds safety, infrastructure, and classroom improvements.
• Field decisions have NOT been made yet — community input will guide our next steps in June. This vote is not a vote on the fields.
Your vote matters. Learn more at www.bcsd.org/budget
Sincerely,
Larry Davis, Board of Education President
Dr. Christina Lee, Board of Education Vice President
Carrielyn Bertino, Board of Education Member
Dr. Susan Gasparino, Board of Education Member
Karen Hatch, Board of Education Member
Clayton Jones, Board of Education Member
Esther Winter, Board of Education Member
Dr. Kevin McGowan, Superintendent
