January 22, 2010 - On January 19, the Governor proposed cutting $1.1 billion in education spending statewide in order to help compensate the projected $7.4 billion state deficit, as a part of his budget proposal for New York State.

According to the Times Herald-Record, Goshen would receive approximately $11 million in total aid, which is a decrease of approximately $1.26 million, or 10.25 percent.

However, according to the district’s estimated calculations, Goshen would actually receive approximately $10.71 million in total aid, which is a decrease of approximately $1.43 million, or 12.6 percent. This is because anticipated costs for Transportation are approximately $300,000 less than determined by the State, and since actual expenditures are lower, less aid would be available.
