Rationale:
|
As required by the Yonkers Public Schools Board of Education, this is a request to amend approved July 20, 2022 resolution approved in the original amount awarded as $49,315,557.60.
The second amendment, which occurred on June 21, 2023, incorporated a 3.5% increase due to the Consumer Price Index (CPI), resulting in an additional $3,661,043.90. This adjustment brought the new total balance to $52,976,601.50.
The third amendment, which occurred February 28, 2024, increased by $1,470,308.50 due to transportation needs of the students, which brought the total balance to $54,446,910.00.
In the current amendment, we are seeking an increase of 1,716,418.05, which would bring the new adjusted balance to $56,787,228.05 in order to complete SY23-24.
