Tax Cap Survey
As Superintendents of Long Island school districts, we are deeply concerned that forced budget reductions will negatively affect our students. As you know, a property tax cap has been put into place to bring relief to New York residents in these tough times. While the tax cap is meant to help our communities, we are concerned that reductions in programs and services will decrease our ability to teach our children.
As residents of Long Island, you are impacted by the schools even if you do not have children enrolled; therefore, your voice is important. We would like to hear your opinions about school budgets, programs and services. Your answers to the questions on this survey will help us to make decisions and address our financial situation. Please be assured that your responses will be kept confidential and that your individual answers will not be shared.
Thank you for sharing your views.

**Attempting to Grow Bookworms!**
Superintendent of Schools Dr. Steven R. Cohen is trying to expand the District’s new literacy program, Grow Bookworms, a program that provides a book to families of newly born children in the community. The goal of this program is to create a community culture of literacy through reading during infancy.
If you would like to submit the name of a newly born or baptized child and the parent’s information, please contact Mary Luhrs at the Office of the Superintendent at 631.821.8105 or
mluhrs@swr.k12.ny.us. The parents will receive a token of a book to read to their child during infancy.
