• Proposition 3 would authorize the district to create a capital reserve fund. Its purpose would be to address enrollment and maintenance needs that cannot be included in the annual budget; compensate for a possible future decrease in money available to transfer from the general fund to the capital fund line; and responsibly allocate remaining budgetary funds for future needs. A capital reserve fund can only be established with voter approval.
• Proposition 4 would authorize the district to use $1.08 million from the School Lunch Fund for Roosevelt School cafeteria expansion and renovations. The money will be used to add more seating to accommodate the larger student population; enlarge the kitchen and provide more food choices; and expand the capacity of the service line so more students can go through quickly and have time to eat lunch.
• The Ossining Public Library asks voters to approve a tax levy of $3,921,396. Two incumbent trustees are running unopposed for re-election.
