The district’s summer school program and community school, which are a part of the operating budget, made thousands of dollars less than projected for the 2011-2012 school year, according to a preliminary audit report by the superintendent for business.
The district’s cafeteria, an enterprise program that required no infusion of funds from the Board of Education (BOE), also made thousands of dollars less than expected.
While the audits are not yet complete on these programs, village taxpayers will not have to pay for any of these losses in the 2013-2014 school year budget, officials said.
The cumulative losses for programs the district contributes to are relatively small – an “infinitesimal” percentage of the $90 million budget, noted Board of Education (BOE) Vice President Vince Loncto.

Probably because there was very little time to make a decision. If your family made vacation plans or signed up for camps how can you back out of those for summer school? I believe that it lasted 6 weeks!
If they ran the classes for fewer weeks, longer days I would have signed my son up. A family can’t plan their summer around one child.
