The Roslyn School District’s proposed 2022-2023 budget was approved by the Board of Education on Thursday, April 7, 2022. The proposed property tax levy increase of 2.48% is well below the tax cap limit of 3.70%, with a budget increase of 2.93%. This is the thirteenth consecutive year that the District’s budget has been below the tax levy limit imposed by New York State.
The $122,145,193 budget meets instructional requirements and is sensitive to current events and the economic climate. It sustains the district’s high-quality academic standards, supports athletic, music, art, and extra-curricular programs, enhances cyber security measures, supplements health and wellness initiatives, and continues necessary capital improvements while remaining well below the permissible tax levy limit.
Residents are encouraged to review the district’s comprehensive budget plan on the school website — www.roslynschools.org.
