THIS WEEK'S VOTE ON SCHOOL DISTRICT BUDGETS AND LEADERS
OVERALL, NYS SCHOOLS DID WELL ON BUDGET day, with a few local outliers. Since all the stats are in, we did an analysis for you of WestPut districts and how voting compared to the past few years. Big turnout seems to be linked to some politically charged races, but LoHud put together a summary of how that played out in our region.
SCHOOLS CAN KEEP FEDERAL $ IN THEIR POCKETS A LITTLE LONGER
IF SCHOOLS NEED MORE TIME TO FINISH planned building upgrades using federal COVID relief funding, they can now apply for an extension. Spending plans need to be in place by September 2024, but now schools have 18 more months to actually spend those dollars. Half of the issue is inflation and supply chain challenges, the rest is the need to prioritize health and safety first.
