Kids in School
Budget plans would raise New York State’s average per-pupil expenditure, already the highest in the country at nearly $25,000, by more than 4 percent.
It is outrageous that school districts and their union masters suggest increasing spending by over four percent for an underperforming system whose enrollment continues to decrease.”

ALBANY, NY, UNITED STATES, May 14, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- School districts across New York State are set to hold their annual budget vote on Tuesday, May 18th. All districts that are subject to public vote have submitted to the voters proposed budgets for the 2021-2022 school year, which voters must decide whether or not to adopt. Residents in New York City, Rochester, Buffalo, Syracuse and Yonkers do not vote on school budgets, as those cities’ charters reserve school budget allocation and approval to their respective City Councils. In most districts, school board elections are also being held, many of them non-partisan.
