Onteora school officials working to trim budget

Story in Daily Freeman on 10 February 2018.

Onteora school district trustees are reviewing a draft $56.21 million 2018-19 budget that would increase spending by $1.92 million, or 3.53 percent.
At a Board of Education meeting Tuesday, officials said they would either have to reduce spending or find more revenue for the budget to meet the 3.63 percent state tax levy limit.
Above that limit, voters would have to approve the spending plan by a supermajority of 60 percent of ballots cast.
