Voters in the Owego Apalachin Central School District on Tuesday, May 19, voted to approve the district\u2019s proposed 2026-2027 school budget of $63,567,555. The budget included a 17.10 in the district tax levy. <\/span><\/p>\n

We published last week that the increase is strictly a technical accounting change. Officials noted that \u201cthe increase is actually the $3,183,700 payment from Stagecoach Pipeline moving from one category to another. The Tax Levy increase for residents remains at 0%.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n
