 Your Vote is Essential on May 20
Tom Gillett, Regional Staff Director, NYSUT
Monroe County Education Coalition
This year’s May 20th budget votes and school board elections once
again bring a whirl of issues and considerations to voters. There’s
always the question of voting on the budget which has been
approved by the Board of Education and pulling the levers for the
school board candidates who will be the best advocates for public
education.
Although the task as stated here sounds simple, this year’s
circumstances make it more difficult than ever. For Monroe
County voters, the “un-FAIR” Plan, which reduced school
districts’ share of county sales tax revenues by millions of dollars,
has been declared illegal—for the time being anyway. The most
recent decision by the appellate panel directed the County to
restore the revenue, but another round in court is under review now
and will not be decided by May 20th. Read more here.
2008-2009 Budget
Presentation
On Tuesday, May 13 at 7:30 p.m., the Kendall Board of
Education will hold the 2008-2009 Budget Presentation

community members with another opportunity to ask
questions regarding the 2008-2009 proposed budget
before the public vote on May 20. There will also be time
to meet the candidates for the Kendall Board of Education.
Voters will elect one member to the Board of Education for
a five-year term commencing July 1, 2008 and expiring on
June 30, 2013.

Educate to Escape ~ Help us "Go Green"
There is a T.V. show on abc called Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. They have started a contest between schools all over America to make the schools "Go Green". This means that the school that wins this contest will have the team from Extreme Makeover come to their school and give them an eco-friendly makeover. This will include all new technology to be more energy efficient and safe. This is so important in our world today to make sure we are being kind to our environment. All YOU have to do is go to www.educatetoescape.com and sign Kendall up! There are a couple of questions to answer and a short response. It is so worth it for our kids to have a greener future and why not start in school! Here are some statistics for you if you need them for your paragraph to Extreme Makeover:
