READ MORE Tentative Budget presented Feb. 26 Schoharie Central's $21,693,185 Tentative Budget for 2014-15, which was presented at the Feb. 26 Board of Education meeting, would increase appropriations over the current year's budget by $674,196. State aid and other revenues would increase by $198,860. The tentative tax levy change, which falls within the tax levy limit, would be $234,090. The resulting budget gap of $241,246 will require reductions and/or additional allocation of available fund balance if additional state aid is not provided by the Legislature and Governor. The Tentative Budget appropriations are $186,416 more than the Preliminary (modified rollover) Budget discussed during the Feb. 12 community budget forum, due to additional funding requests under consideration for JV athletics, club advisors, teacher salaries, additional PE instruction, computer purchases through BOCES, an aide for the elementary computer lab, grounds maintenance and track maintenance.
