JPS Finance and Budget Director Brittnay Spry presents proposed 2023-24 school budget at public hearing (May 9, 2023)<\/p><\/div>\n

The Jamestown Public Schools District<\/strong> has made its final presentation on the proposed $101 million 2023-24 budget<\/strong> ahead of the budget vote on May 16.<\/p>\n

The budget has no tax levy increase and a 16.5% increase in State Foundation Aid<\/strong>. Because the increase is over 10%, the district was required to submit a Foundation Aid Plan<\/strong> to the state for how that money would be spent. That plan can be viewed at jpsny.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Finance and Budget Director Brittnay Spry<\/strong> said Governor Kathy Hochul<\/strong>‘s proposed set aside in Foundation Aid for use for High Impact Tutoring was rejected by the State Legislature<\/strong>. Had that been passed the district would have been mandated to use $900,000 in foundation aid toward tutoring.<\/p>\n

The budget does include the hiring of 18 new teachers, most of whom will staff new Student Support Centers. A new Assistant Principal for Fletcher Elementary School is proposed as well given that Fletcher has the second highest student enrollment in the district, only behind the High School.<\/p>\n

Besides the budget, a proposition will also be on the ballot to fund a new Capital Improvement Reserve Fund with up to $5 million.<\/p>\n

The vote on the budget, capital improvement reserve fund proposition, and school board candidates will take place Tuesday, May 16 between 12:00 and 9:00 p.m. People may go to Jefferson or Washington Middle Schools; or Lincoln Elementary School to vote.<\/p>\n
