The TASK FORCE ON MAXIMIZING SCHOOL DISTRICT RESOURCES believes the recommendations in its full report are worth considering by state lawmakers, as well as member boards of the New York State School Boards Association. These options have been carefully selected for their potential to provide either meaningful cost relief to large numbers of school districts or necessary resources for school officials to allocate as efficiently as possible. They are not meant to be either/or possibilities. They can be addressed separately, in combination or tailored to specific district circumstances.

School officials throughout New York are gradually coming to grips with the fact that the voices are getting louder and the message clearer: Improve results and cut costs! The cost containment recommendations found herein are far preferable to deep, dramatic and painful budget cuts that will eliminate educational programs that are good for kids and critical to our state’s future.
