Preliminary School District Budget Presentation

The Pelham Board of Education will hear an overview of the preliminary budget for next year by interim superintendent Dr. Charles T. Wilson.

Tonight's meeting is at 8 p.m. in Alumni Hall at Pelham Memorial High School

With input from the community, board members will then begin its fine tuning process before adopting a final budget on April 23.

Dr. Wilson said the draft budget reflects the direction set by the Board of Education earlier this year “to develop a budget that preserves program and class size and is within the tax cap.”

Also on the agenda, assistant superintendent Peter Giarrizzo will present a report on the findings of a Math Task Force based on its review of two studies of the current math program. The studies were by the Tri-States Consortium and by Rutgers University. Teachers, parents, Board members and administrators were part of this task force.
