Dr. Bradley Zilliox says state aid is helping many districts.
With the Fredonia School Board of Education setting their tentative budget at $31,295,067 for the 2021-22 school year, the only thing they have to do now is wait to see if it is approved by the public. The vote for budget approval will be held on May 18 from 2 to 9 p.m. in the high school cafeteria.
The budget also features a tax levy of zero percent, which while the school board is proud of, President Brian Aldrich knows that for the long term, the levy of zero percent is not sustainable. “I’ve said it several times and I’ll say it again, that is not sustainable and that is not something we will be able to do every year,” he said. “I don’t want taxpayers to expect zero percent every year.”
