Current School Year Budget
The 2020-21 budget totals $32,356,855 and carried a projected tax levy increase of 1.67 percent, which was under the limit set by New York State’s property tax cap of 1.72 percent. Spending is up a total of $773,465, a 2.45 percent increase from the 2019-20 budget that due largely to inflation, contractual obligations, and rising health insurance and retirement costs. The District used reserves and fund balance to reduce the impact of revenue shortfalls and to help hold the tax levy increase under the tax cap. More information is available on our 2020-21 School Budget Information page.
