Budget Information

Welcome to the Herricks Public Schools 2025-2026 budget information webpage. This page is designed to provide Herricks Public Schools District residents with budget information in a transparent manner. The budget that is presented initially is one that is prepared by district administrators with direction from the Board of Education. However, with Board and community input, the budget that is adopted is ultimately that of the Board of Education.

Please check back often as the information contained on this webpage will change as the budget development process continues.

Questions about the budget may be addressed to either:

Dr. Tony Sinanis, Superintendent of Schools at 516-305-8901 or Email: Dr Sinanis
Lisa Rutkoske, Asst. Supt. for Business at 516-305-8903 or Email: Ms. Rutkoske
Or any member of the Board of Education

Tax Levy Limit Information

The property tax levy cap legislation became effective beginning with the 2012-13 school year and continues to impact school district budgets, including the proposed budget for the upcoming school year.

This legislation seeks to establish a threshold that determines the number of votes required for a budget to pass taking into account a variety of factors, one being the growth factor. The tax levy cap does not limit the increase in the tax levy at 2%. Only in very rare cases will a district's tax levy limit actually calculate out to 2%.

The links to the references below are designed to provide the residents of Herricks community with the components of the tax cap calculation, the tax levy limit calculation for the district required to be submitted to the Office of the State Comptroller, and other explanatory guidance. This information may change as additional guidance is provided by New York State.
