Subject: Follow-Up
Good Morning Sheila,
I wanted to follow up with your regarding your request for the district to consider implementing the Community Eligibility Provision. As promised, the district looked into the cost of implementing the program. Based on last year’s data and our calculations, the program would have equate to a $140,000 loss to the district this year.
As I am sure you know, districts all across NYS are anticipating a very tough budget year this year and next year due to COVID-19. Due to our calculations and the anticipation of some very difficult budget years in the next couple years, my recommendation to the BOE is that we calculate the numbers again next year (using this year’s data), so that we have can make an accurate and informed decision based on 2 years of data.
I appreciate your time and thoughts and assure you that we will look at the numbers again next year.
Sincerely,
Christopher J. Byrne
Superintendent of Schools

No child should ever go hungry, feel unsafe, or be left without opportunity.
Yet right here in our own communities, too many children are falling through the cracks.
That’s why we’re fighting to enact a Children’s Bill of Rights—to protect their health, safety, education, and dignity. But we can’t do it alone. Add your name to the petition today and help us demand a brighter, fairer future for every child in New York State.
