Information is beginning to be further disseminated regarding the tax rebate that has been put in place. It is being fairly widely stated that if Districts stay under the tax levy limit (“cap”) the taxpayers of the District will see a rebate in the form of a check for the amount they saw as an increase associated with this year’s proposed tax levy increase most likely right around election time this November.
Congratulations to the Teachers, Students, support staff and the entire school community for again being recognized as one of US News and World Reports top High Schools in their annual ranking and report.
We were awarded a silver badge which only 9% of schools in the nation receive.
They rank 19,400 schools in the nation and we were ranked #1,426 in the nation and #116 in the state.
This is the second time in three years that we have been recognized with a silver badge.
The support afforded our school by the entire school community is what makes it possible for our students and teachers to achieve what they do.
The annual school report card issued by the state is due to be released on April 29th. This report will look at accountability in many different areas including student achievement.
Once released the report will be available for public review at various locations.
The report will be for the 2012-13 academic year.
A reminder that we have budget hearings coming up in May at Big Moose Fire Hall on May 5th, Woodgate Library on May 7th and here in our music room on May 13th.
The hearings will begin at 7pm.
All taxpayers are encouraged to attend as we want them to be fully informed voters when they go to the polls on May 20th to vote on the budget, capital reserve proposition and the candidates for the two BOE seats that will be elected through write-ins this year.
