school budget votes

Corning-Painted Post school district voters will decide on a $147 million budget and 8 percent tax levy this year. They will also elect board members. Some are returning for another term and others are looking to join the board for a first term.

Three school districts in the Southern Tier successfully passed new school budgets on Tuesday.The Newfield, Ithaca, and Corning Painted-Post school districts all brought forward updated versions of the budget for a revote after their original proposals failed to pass in May. These revamped proposals cut spending and lowered proposed tax levies.

The Corning-Painted Post school board met last month to propose a new budget for a revote on June 18.

The capital project plan was one of three propositions on the Ithaca ballot. All three passed with over 80% of the vote.
