Weekly Message from the Superintendent

Hello Everyone,

I hope you and your family had a great week! I have three brief announcements. 

First, a reminder that Tuesday, May 20th is the annual school budget vote for the 2025-26 school budget. The vote will occur at our ECS building in the Boardroom from 6:00 am until 9:00 pm. The budget expenditures for next school year are within the Tax Cap compliance. We are not increasing staffing for next school year, nor are there any projected reductions in staffing or programs. Please check out our website if you would like more information, including viewing the online version of the budget newsletter, or have a question. You can also email me at Terranovat@victorschools.org if you have any questions. 

Please note that there was a typographical error on page 2 of the budget newsletter that we mailed to community members, within the revenue plan section detailing the breakdown of Total State Sources.  The correct total projected state aid amount is accurately listed as $40,433,900. However, a specific line item within that breakdown, the "State Aid" figure for 2025-2026, was printed incorrectly. The correct figure for the 2025-2026 state aid line item should be $36,954,149.

Residents are advised to take note of this correction when reviewing the newsletter. This clarification ensures an accurate understanding of the projected state aid components for the 2025-2026 budget.

In addition to the vote on May 20th, the campus will be filled with many other exciting events. These include: 

  • Random Acts of Art (5:00-7:00 pm) - Senior High Art Wing
  • Cares Carnival (3:30-6:30 pm) - North Fields by HS sponsored by VSH Cares Club. 
  • VSH Orchestras Concert (7:00 pm) - JH/SH Performing Arts Center
  • Many athletic events throughout the afternoon & evening, including sectional competition.

Second, a huge shout out to the Victor Central School District Music department! VCS was recognized as one of the Best Communities in the nation for music education. Only 7% of the nation’s school districts receive this honor. Designations are made to districts and schools that demonstrate an exceptionally high commitment to and access to music education. Special thanks to our music professionals who do such outstanding work with our children from the youngest age through their senior year of high school, and thank you to all of you for emphasizing the importance of music and the arts! 

Finally, a thank you to the Victor Robotics Team for running their annual spring recycle event tomorrow (Saturday), from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm in the Auxiliary Parking Lot by VSH. Electronics equipment cannot be accepted this year; however, anything related to clothes, food, most scrap metal, bikes, etc will be gladly accepted. This event is a great way to help our environment and support our amazing Robotics program at the same time. 

Have a wonderful weekend, and please reach out if you have any questions.

With gratitude,

Tim
