Gregory Carlson, the Assistant Superintendent for Business and Management Services, sat down and answered a few questions.
Q: What does it mean when the community passes a school budget vote?
It shows support of the community of the school and also provides a legal right to spend a certain amount of money, which is part of the budget vote so we can run our programs as we present it to the public.
Q: Why is it important for the community to vote?
It is a civic responsibility for democratic society and it permits the board to function according to its strategic plans.

The Byram Hills Foundation is a not-for-profit corporation, founded in 1994, that provides financial support to teachers and school administrators for creative programs and equipment, not normally included in the school's annual operating budget. This funding has encouraged teachers to reach beyond the confines of the school budget to provide enriching, curriculum-based learning programs to our children.
The mission of the Byram Hills Education Foundation is to enhance the educational experience of all children within the Byram Hills Central School District by generating community support to fund innovative grants that encourage learning and personal development.
The BHEF enables our schools to provide Byram Hills students with exceptional programs, projects and equipment that are not covered by the Byram Hills School District Operating Budget.
