Lower Hudson schools will get nearly $1 billion in aid next year

April

Is this the delivery of state aid for local school districts?

No, it’s not. But it could be. The state Legislature just approved a final budget for 2008-09 that provides $903.1 million in aid for school districts in Westchester, Putnam and Rockland, 10 percent higher than last year. Statewide, the aid package is tagged at $21 billion, up 9 percent.

To see how much your district is getting, visit http://assembly.state.ny.us/comm/WAM/2008schoolaid/. Be sure to check back for the story in tomorrow’s The Journal News.
