Jump to Comments

It’s almost time to vote for school budgets. As usual, most budgets have increases that are much higher than the Consumer Price Index. The Greater Amsterdam School District’s proposed budget has a 6.52% spending increase, even though the Consumer Price Index is currently 2.8%.

In the 2002-2003 school year, it cost $9,680 to educate each student in the Greater Amsterdam School District. If the proposed budget passes, it will now cost $13,927 per pupil.

School budget votes are one of the few opportunities we have to say no to excessive government spending. Unfortunately, the turnout is often light.
