On Tuesday, April 12th, the Smithtown BOE voted 5-2 to accept the Superintendent's budget for the 2011-12 school year for the district.
The $212, 361,284. budget is a .41% increase over the 2010-11 budget. The contingent budget happens to be the exact same number, making the necessity of a a re-vote unlikely. The tax levy is expected to be 4.9%
The 2 'no' votes were from Terry Knox, who gave no reason for her vote, and board vice-president Joe Saggese, who had previously asked for--but never received-- a budget with a total three year projection. He felt it was impossible to make an informed decision without this information.
