Assemblyman Brian Miller<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Assemblyman Brian Miller (R,I,C,Ref-New Hartford) is proud\nto announce passage of his legislation (A.7499<\/a>) to stabilize finances at the Schenevus Central\nSchool District, helping to protect students\u2019 educations, as well as staving\noff a greater burden on taxpayers in the tight-knit rural community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe passage of this kind of legislation is what I was\nelected to do. I am so proud that my colleagues in the state Legislature came\ntogether to help enact this much-needed relief to help the Schenevus\ncommunity,\u201d said Miller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Schenevus Central School District Superintendent Theresa\nCarlin said, \u201cConsidering the financial condition of our district, any help we\nare able to get at this point is a welcome. The ability to borrow on our future\naid allows us to reduce costs and borrowing in the short term. This bill\npassing will allow us to request our future aid in the next year in the amount\nof $500,000, which will greatly help us reduce short-term costs. We are\ngrateful to Assemblyman Miller for his help in getting the bill through the\nAssembly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As one of just five school districts in the state to be in\n\u201csignificant financial distress,\u201d according to the state Comptroller, Schenevus\nCentral School District was facing a budget deficit of more than half a million\ndollars this year. With only 360 students, the small, rural district has lost\npopulation, is struggling to afford higher costs and schools have seen revenue\nshortfalls. Without intervention, the school district would be unable to raise\nthe necessary revenues without going over the state\u2019s two percent tax cap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Miller and his colleague state Sen. James Seward worked with\nSuperintendent Carlin to introduce legislation to advance state aid payments to\nthe district, as well as to assist the district in developing a comprehensive\nlong term plan for solvency. Having now passed in both houses, the bill will\nreturn to the state Senate to be sent to the governor for his consideration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Assemblyman Miller represents the 101st<\/sup> District\nconsisting of parts of Delaware, Herkimer, Oneida, Orange, Otsego, Sullivan and\nUlster counties. For more information, please visit his <\/em>Official\nWebsite<\/em><\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
