The YJSCB is considered a blended component unit of the Yonkers Public School district and is included in the Yonkers Public school financial statements for the year ending June 30, 2024; and
WHEREAS, Resolution 2024/2025 Yonkers City School District Adopted Budget was approved on June 18, 2024 which included YJSCB expenditure funding of $37,000; and
