Gananda Central School District is holding a second vote on its proposed $28 million budget after the original plan was rejected in May, according to WROC. Officials say the initial defeat stemmed from concerns over a tax increase that exceeded the state limit.
The revised budget caps the tax levy at 2.67%, eliminates two positions, and scales back services while preserving key programs like AP courses and small class sizes. Superintendent Shawn Van Scoy warned that failure to pass the new proposal would trigger a contingency budget, cutting buses, improvements, and free facility use.
Voting is scheduled for Tuesday at the RMES Gymnasium from 12 p.m. to 9 p.m.
