Board of Education Adopts 2011-2012 School Budget

The East Greenbush CSD Board of Education adopted a budget for the 2011-2012 school year at its April 13th Board meeting. The budget totals $84,730,093 and represents a 0.52 percent reduction in spending from the current year’s budget. Despite school officials cutting spending, the 2011-2012 budget carries a 2.8 percent tax levy increase, due largely to a $4.7 million loss in NY State operating aid.
