Your school district’s business manager will be busy today.
Late last night, the state finally released what they call “state aid runs” — the spreadsheets that show how much aid each school district will get for the next school year.
The aid runs became available just hours before state lawmakers wrapped up approval of the first on-time state budget in five years.
Today, business officials will be poring over spreadsheets, plugging in the new numbers and deciding how large the deficit is going to be for next year.
State legislators managed to put back nearly $1.9 million of the $28.8 million that Governor Cuomo had cut from state aid to Oswego County schools for the next school year.
The restorations, by school district:
The restored funds will help cover deep deficits in proposed school district budgets, which must be approved by mid-April and voted on by the public in mid-May during the statewide school budget voting day.
In Fulton, for example, a long list of proposed cuts has left the district with a $600,000 deficit to cover. The aid restoration will cover a little less than half that amount.
Hannibal’s deficit, before making cuts, is about $650,000. The $116,000 restoration will slice off a little of that gap.
We have calls in to school superintendents to seek comment on the aid restorations and will update this story when we hear from them.
