ROCHESTER, N.Y. — The Rochester City School District’s board is scheduled to vote on Tuesday on next school year’s budget. It comes amid delays in Albany in passing the state budget, which has made it difficult for some school districts to plan for the next school year.
The state budget is nearly six weeks late, forcing the New York State Legislature to pass an 11th deadline extension on Monday. Last month at a Rochester City Council meeting, RCSD Superintendent Dr. Eric Jay Rosser spoke about how the delay in Albany is making an impact.
Ahead of the meeting, parents, teachers, and students protested proposed cuts to student mental health resources and some other programs. However, Rosser said those programs may not need to be cut. He explained that RCSD’s budget proposal doesn’t include nearly $6 million in donations and New York State aid, because the budget hasn’t passed yet.
“What’s written in the budget book is based upon projected revenue and projected expenditures,” Rosser said. “Some of those programs may not be cut based upon the revenue that we actually receive as a school district. There is additional state aid dollars that we’re anticipating, as well.”
You can see the latest version of the RCSD budget, which totals $1.15 billion, here. The vote is scheduled for 6 p.m. on Tuesday at the district’s central offices on 131 West Broad St. News10NBC has reached out to the district to see if the delay in Albany will impact the vote in any way.
Once the school board votes, Rochester City Council is expected to vote on the budget in June. See the latest schedule updates here.
