In January we reported that Governor Andrew Cuomo's 2013-2014 state
budget showed an increase in school aid of 4.08% or $10,096,234.
The Senate's school budget, which is likely to be adopted by the Assembly as well, came out this week and shows a 7.1% increase in aid. Under the Legislature's plan, we will be receiving $10,360,283.
Based on percentage alone (not dollars), Roy-Hart's 7.1% is the highest in Niagara County and the sixth highest in all of WNY.
