Freeport '07-08 school budget to rise
4.89%
BALDVnN MIDDLE SCHOOL'S Student interest Organization {SIO) publicizes and supports spirit days atUie school each month. On these special days, students and staff members are encouraged to dress according to a particular theme such as Jeans and Jersey Day, Sweatsuit Day, Twin Day, Red and White Day and Dress to Impress Day. The most recent spirit day was IVlix-n-Match Day on January 26. Many members of the Baldwin Middle School community worthed hard to create an outfit or a look that just did not match up! Polka dots with stripes, plaids with a floral print and a rainbow of mismatched colors and styles abounded. Principal James Brown mismatches with, frpin left, Jaleesa Martinez, Victoria Pellegrino, and^^thia Rogers, eighth-grade students who participated enthusiastically in the spirit of the day.

Budget season began for the Freeport Board of Education at its February 7 meeting, as it was announced that the district's tentative 2007-200S expenditure budget will total $134,796,027, an increase of $6,286,151 or 4.S9 percent over the previous year.
Before turning the meeting over to Deputy Superintendent Kishore Kuncham for an overview. Superintendent Dr. Eric Eversley thanked staff and administrators for their work. In noting that the budget is still "a work in progress,'" he stated the purpose is that "things that are .•iolid and successful" will continue to receive support - namely the
recently added full-day kindergarten and science programs, as well as the districts other advances — but to do so while considering the taxpayers. The 4.89 percent increase was described as the smallest increase, by percentage, in several years.
Launching into his presentation, Mr. Kuncham described many of the factors that will impact the •07-08 budget, as they have in previous years: contractual expenses (salaries), BOCES expenses, health insurance (12-14 percent again this year) and responsibilities to the state retirement system (although the numbers are more stable this year than in previous years).
The three portions of the budget are administrative (11.82 percent of the total, going up $619,743, or 4
percent) program (77.4 percent, increasing $5,434,554 or 5.5 percent) and capital 10.78 percent of the total, going up $231,854, or 1.6 percent.
It is anticipated that seven new teachers (three at the high school, two at New Visions and one each at Bayview and Atkinson) plus a part-time nurse and three coaches will be needed. But the district intends to fund them this year through transfers, retirements or other restructurings, thus adding no extra dollars to the budget.
Capital improvements for '07-08 will be $1,475 million, the same as last year, with roofs, heating, ventil-lation and air conditioning (HVAC), lockers and security systems seeing the most attention districtwide.
