After the school district’s proposed budget failed to garner enough votes to pass on Tuesday, the district has now released a statement that they will be considering the next steps. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Late Tuesday evening, Luke McEvoy, spokesperson for the Owego Apalachin School District, reported that the proposed school budget was voted down by close to 120 votes; 479 approved of the proposed budget whereas 597 voted it down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 2019 \u2013 2020 proposed school budget was set at $47,931,679. This budget, according to McEvoy, carried an increase of 2.63 percent, and a tax levy increase of 3.83 percent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In response to the defeat of the 2019-2020 Owego Apalachin School budget, which the school district, in a release, stated \u201c\u2026 it proposed a tax increase within the allowable New York State Tax Cap of 3.83 percent on the levy,” the district is now stating that they will begin considering the next steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those steps, as defined in the release, include a re-vote on the current budget, a re-vote on a revised budget, or going directly to a contingency budget. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The district stated that a re-vote would take place on June 18. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the meantime, a Public Budget Workshop will take place on Tuesday, May 28, at 6 p.m. at the Owego Apalachin District Office; there will also be a Board of Education meeting on Thursday, May 30, at 7 p.m. at the same location. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can learn more about the budget at www.oacsd.org<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In other school voting news, a proposition was approved by taxpayers on Tuesday for the purchase of five school buses; the vote carried with 626 voting yes, and 443 voting down the proposition.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two Board of Education Candidates were also elected for two seats \u2013 Gene Cvik, with 756 votes and Linda Gretz, with 849 votes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Voters approved the additional taxpayer funding for the Apalachin Public Library with 569 yes votes and 496 no votes; additional taxpayer funding was also approved for the Coburn Free Library with 605 yes votes and 450 votes against the additional funding. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
