Superintendent's Message
February, 2017
Dear Residents:
Presently, our School District is developing its 2017-2018 school budget. It is our hope to have the budget adopted by the Board of Education at the April 5, 2017 Board of Education Meeting.
Aspects of the budget will be addressed by Mr. Arcuri, our Assistant Superintendent for Business at the March 7th, 14th and 21st Board of Education Meetings. At these presentations, other administrators will offer updates as to their department’s budget status for next year.
I hope you can attend, so that when you vote on May 16, 2017, you will be fully informed as to the budget’s dollar value and the programs it supports.
Be advised Mr. Arcuri and I will be meeting with our representatives in the State Senate and Assembly to seek additional State Aid, over what has been proposed by Governor Cuomo. Your help in contacting Senator LaValle and Assemblyman Palumbo, urging them to maximize aid to the Shoreham-Wading River School District, will help ensure the continuance of the programs that our students benefit from. Their contact information is:
Senator Kenneth LaValle
Phone: 631-473-1461
email: lavalle@nysenate.gov
Assemblyman Anthony Palumbo
Phone: 631-727-0204
email: palumboa@nyassembly.gov
As my time in Shoreham-Wading River begins to wind down, I want to thank everyone for their kindness and support. I hope I have helped the District move forward. The collaboration I have experienced with Parent, Community groups and our Board of Education has been most positive and rewarding. I thank you for what you do to make our School District a special one for our students
Respectfully,
Neil Lederer
Interim Superintendent of Schools
