By Doug La Rocque

Connally and supporters are hoping to create a groundswell of support, between the Berlin and New Lebanon communities.  [Read more…] about Two Communities Joining Together To Re-Establish High School Wrestling In The Taconic Valley

First Draft Of 2016-2017 Hoosick Falls School Budget Rolled Out; Superintendent Facin Calls For 0% Increase

March 3, 2016 By eastwickpress

by Deb Alter

The first draft of the 2016-2017 budget was presented at the February 25 Board Meeting. Business Administrator Pam Hatfield emphasized that it is just the initial rollout, and the budget is still being developed. Many variables beyond the control of the District are still in question, the biggest of them being state aid. The State budget is due on April 1, so more solid information will become available by then. Hatfield said that a simple rollover of the budget with a few tweaks would be a 4.5% budget-to-budget increase. This would be a little over a million additional dollars, of which so far additional State operating aid has promised to cover only about $160,000.
