What are the Basic Financial Fasts of the Budget Proposal?

On May 16, voters will be asked to decide on the Greece Central School District’s 2023-24 proposed budget. Most of our budget dollars go directly to schools and classrooms. This week's budget information flyer takes a look at the basic financial facts of the budget proposal. The flyer also includes a link to our weekly budget video, which explores how the budget supports the district’s core commitment to cultivate trust.

We encourage all registered voters to mark their calendars and make time to vote on May 16! Polls will be open at the district’s Transportation and Support Services Facility, located at 1790 Latta Road, from 6 a.m. until 9 p.m. on May 16. Visit the district website for more information.

We are very excited to share that the district's before and after school program will be expanding to our school for the upcoming school year. Please review the KidsCare 2023-2024 Flyer to learn more about the program. Registration for district families will open on May 1st through My School Bucks. We look forward to adding this additional opportunity for our families to our school!

Building trust and ensuring that there are open lines of communication between home and school are essential for student success. We want to be sure you know who to contact with questions or concerns. This document, Who to Call with Questions, Concerns and Compliments is a step-by-step reference guide families can use to ensure questions are answered quickly and effectively. Please refer to it whenever you need to speak to someone about your child’s progress. Whether your inquiry is about academics, safety, or services and supports, there are people at the school and district level who are ready to help whenever a question or concern arises.

Greece Central’s Office of Student Transportation Services is now accepting 2023-24 transportation requests for private, parochial, and charter school students, as well as requests for busing to and from child care facilities. An application must be filed each year that service is requested. Child care transportation is only available for students in grades K-8.

• CLICK HERE to complete the child care application.
• CLICK HERE to complete the private/parochial/charter school application.

Applications must be completed by July 1. This deadline is important. Bus runs are established in the spring and early summer. Current residents who fail to request transportation by the July 1 deadline are not guaranteed service at the opening of school. Applications received after July 1 will be accepted, but no new bus stops will be created to accommodate late applicants. Those missing the deadline will be transported from the closest established bus stop.

The 2023-24 calendar was approved at the February 28 Board of Education Meeting and is now available for viewing. Click here to see the calendar.
