COUNTY SCHOOLS FACE $10-MILLION IN STATE CUTS

Rockland County school districts stand to lose more than $10,000,000 in state funding under Governor David Paterson’s proposed budget cuts. That’s according to Our Town newspaper in a report in today’s edition. Among those who’ll vote on the cutbacks is State Senator Thomas Morahan. He told us this morning he thinks there are ways to trim the budget without short-changing local school districts. But he said districts in Rockland and throughout the state should be looking for ways to keep their own spending down. State legislators are likely to be called back to Albany next week to vote on the budget cuts.
