UPDATE, 11AM: The first numbers are out and they are not good news for local governments and school districts.
The Governor’s budget proposes to cut municipal aid to every village, town and city in Oswego County by 5%. The cut to the city of Fulton would eliminate more than $88,000, while the cut to the city of Oswego would take away more than $133,000.
School aid would also be cut by 5%, though there is no breakout by individual districts to indicate whether the cut is across-the-board or whether some districts will take steeper cuts than others.
The district Budget Committee is comprised of the Board of Education members, Superintendent of Schools, central office and building administrators and three community members.
The Fulton School District’s big construction project is making steady progress.
A new team room is nearly ready to go at the high school, while a fully renovated wing at Lanigan Elementary is on schedule to reopen after the Presidents’ Day holiday. See a gallery of pictures of the work in progress.
Thanks to the cooperative partnership between Entergy, the United Way, Success by Six, Oswego Sunrise and Noon Rotary as well as Fulton Rotary and the Oswego City School District, parents will have an opportunity to see that “Children do come with Directions.â€Â
