Capital Project Update: The 2023 voter-approved capital project is now underway. Southern Cayuga Schools have partnered with RSA Architects and C&S Construction Management to implement a $15.5 million capital improvement initiative. To expedite the roof replacement, the project has been divided into two phases. Phase 1 includes the replacement of the main building roof as well as the roof on the bus garage.  I am pleased to report that the roofing portion of the main building is nearly complete.  The sunny fall weather helped to keep things moving and four of the five roof sections are now finished.  Remaining roof work will now focus on the pool and locker room areas that were damaged during a storm last winter.    Phase 2 of the capital project is currently awaiting state approval. ...

Your calls and emails have truly made a difference.   Discussions continue at the state level, with the current focus on potentially deferring this challenging decision to the 2025-2026 school year. This delay aims to provide school districts with additional time to prepare for the future loss of state revenue. Looking ahead, there is anticipation of a reduction in state aid, reflecting New York State's shift ... State Budget Proposal 2024: On January 16, 2024, Governor Hochul put forth a state budget proposal that includes a reduction in foundation aid to over 300 school districts, mainly small rural districts, across New York State. This proposal by the governor translates to a significant 30% cut for Southern Cayuga CSD, amounting to $2.2 million over the span of two years.    In 2023-2024, Southern Cayuga CSD received $7,264,241 in foundation aid. However, the governor's proposed budget for the next year suggests a reduction to $6,171,953. This first year budgetary adjustment is driven by the introduction of a new state aid formula and the elimination of the 'hold harmless' provision. Previously, this provision guaranteed that all school districts would receive no less than the amount of aid they ... Congratulations!: There's exciting news at Southern Cayuga!
