Voters approve 2013-14 school budget Schoharie Central School District residents approved a $21,018,989 budget proposal for the 2013-14 school year on May 21, with 334 voting "yes" and 211 voting "no," a 61.28 percentage of approval. Voters also approved a bus purchase proposition, with 325 voting "yes" and 215 voting "no," and a proposition to renovate the district's bus garage, with 307 "yes" votes and 227 "no" votes. Three candidates for three open seats on the Schoharie Board of Education were elected by voters. Marion Jaqueway received 408 votes, Daniel Guasp received 344 votes and and Terry Burton received 416 votes. The school budget, which is 2.88 percent more than the 2012-13 school budget, reflects restoration of certain programs and services initially considered for reduction. Those changes were made largely in response to community feedback on local educational priorities. The budget results in a $258,644 or 2.88 percent increase in the school tax levy, below the 3.75 percent maximum allowed for the district to secure budget approval with a simple majority vote of 50 percent plus one. School tax rates, which are the amount of tax property owners pay per $1,000 of assessed value, will be determined in August after the district receives town property assessments and state equalization rates.
