Shoreham-Wading River School District Superintendent Steven Cohen is expected to continue his 2013-14 budget discussion at Tuesday night’s school board meeting.

According to the agenda, Mr. Cohen will give a presentation about the district’s expenses for employee salaries and benefits.

During the Board of Education’s Feb. 5 meeting, Mr. Cohen presented a nearly $66 million budget for the 2013-14 school year. Under his preliminary proposal, the tax levy — the total amount of money collected from residents — will rise 1.9 percent, keeping it within the state’s cap limit.

Tuesday’s meeting will be held in the high school library at 8 p.m.
