JPS Finance and Budget Director Brittnay Spry presents budget to school board (April 19, 2023)<\/p><\/div>\n

The Jamestown School Board<\/strong> has approved the $101,475,987 2023-24 School year budget<\/strong> that includes no tax levy increase.<\/p>\n

The biggest increase in revenues came in a $9.5 million increase in State Foundation aid<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Finance and Budget Director Brittnay Spry<\/strong> said total state aid funding is $83,706,514, which is 82% of all revenues received by the district.<\/p>\n

She said since the foundation aid proposed to be received by Jamestown represents a 10% increase in aid received, the state requires the district to put together a plan on how the increase in aid would be used, present it and get feedback from the community; and then submit it to the state in July.<\/p>\n

Spry said the new paraprofessional positions created for the 2022-23 budget as well as the new positions proposed in this budget make up the bulk of the Foundation Aid Plan<\/strong>, “We are proposing creating Student Support Centers to address literacy and math. We are addressing learning loss through our student through our students. We are providing access to a school based health center, addressing infrastructure needs across the buildings, providing student support for social-emotional needs, we’re using that for annual and inflationary increases, providing supports for other district-wide needs, as well as continuing operations and programming district wide.”<\/p>\n

Spry said the Foundation Aid plan is available on the district’s website at jpsny.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A public hearing on the budget is now scheduled for 6:00 p.m., Tuesday, May 9 at Jefferson Middle School’s auditorium.<\/p>\n

The public will then go to the polls between 12:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m., Tuesday, May 16 to vote on the budget, a proposition on funding a new Capital Improvement Reserve Fund with up to $5 million, as well as voting for three school board members.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
