UPDATE: 2012-13 Lynbrook School District Budget Recap

This story was updated at 1:15 p.m. on Monday, May 14.

Lynbrook residents will be heading to the polls Tuesday to decide the fate of the 2012-13 Lynbrook School District budget.

Here's a recap of what Tuesday's vote entails, along with information of where you can vote.

Residents are being asked to approve a budget of $74,468,696. This is an increase of 2.156 percent over last year's budget, according to a presentation given by Lynbrook Assistant Superintendent for Business Dr. Melissa Burak.

The final figure falls below the tax levy cap mandated by the state. Through the calculations of a complicated formula, Lynbrook’s tax levy limit was 2.36 percent. The current budget carries a tax levy of 2.34 percent, or $64,423,666, according to the presentation.

All board members are running unopposed. Trustees Rob Paskoff and Sean Strife are running for their second and third terms, respectively, while Board President Cathy Papandrew is seeking her fourth term.

On top of the budget, there are also three other propositions that residents will have the opportunity to vote on:

• Proposition No. 2 will ask for permission for $98,000 to be removed from the technology replacement reserve fund. This money will pay for upgrades to switches and servers, printer and monitor upgrades, and the transformation of the high school art technology lab into a Macintosh platform. Approval of this proposition will have no effect on the tax levy, according to the school district. 
• Proposition No. 3 will ask for the extension of the technology replacement fund. The current reserve is set to expire on June 30 -- once expired, the district would not be allowed to replenish the fund. A "yes" vote would allow the district to continue to put money away toward eventual technology upgrades, according to Burak.
• The approval of a fourth proposition would allow the district to remove $5,550,000 from the capital reserve fund. This would pay for an elevator, music rooms, exterior restroom, district storage space and sod field space at . It would also fund the relocation of the baseball field to , improve track and field facilities at South and install a turf field at , according to the school district.
