Croton PTAs Set Dates for Proposed School Budget Review

Croton’s joint Parent Teacher Association (Special Education PTA, Carrie E. Tompkins PTA, Pierre Van Cortlandt PTA, Croton Harmon PTA) invite residents to attend any of three upcoming “informational coffees” on the school district’s 2007-08 proposed budget.

During each of the presentations, Superintendent Dr. Marjorie Castro and Asst. Superintendent for Finance and Administration Kathleen Ryan will present the proposed budget to district residents. Both administrators will also review their educational goals supported by the budget and the factors that influenced its development, along with the estimated tax rate increase. Members of the Croton Harmon Board of Education and the principals from the schools will also be in attendance to answer questions.

Schedule:

• Wednesday, April 25, 2007, at 7:00 PM in the main floor Community Room at Croton Harmon High School.

• Thursday, May 10, 2007, at 7:00 PM in the Choral Room, 109, at Pierre Van Cortlandt Middle School.

• Friday, May 11, 2007 at 7:00 PM in the Project Room, 103, at Carrie E. Tompkins Elementary School.

For those residents who are unable to attend, portions of the meeting will be taped and rebroadcast on cable station 78. As a reminder, the statewide budget vote and school board trustee election will be held on May 15, 2007 from 6:00 AM to 9:00 PM in the gym at Croton Harmon High School.
