Owego-Apalachin School Superintendent Dr. Bill Russell talked about the district’s proposed budget Friday morning on News Radio 1330, WEBO.

Dr. Russell was a guest on the WEBO Morning Show. The district is proposing a $40.2 million spending plan for next year, which includes a property tax increase of 2.7 percent for district residents.

Dr. Russell says that tax increase is actually the lowest the district has seen in eight years.

Dr. Russell and members of the school board have held two public hearings to discuss the proposed budget with members of the community, last week at Owego Elementary School and Thursday night at Apalachin Elementary.

More information on the budget can be found on the district’s website, www.oacsd.org.

Residents will vote on the plan Tuesday.
