The main source of state funding for public schools comes from what is called “Foundation Aid.” NYS requires school districts receiving a foundation aid increase of more than 10% to create a plan on how these funds will be used to address student performance and need.
Port Jervis Must:
- Seek public comment from parents, teachers, and other stakeholders
- Take public comments into account in the development of the plan
- Describe in the plan how the foundation aid increase will be used
- Post the plan on the district website
Take a moment to complete this brief survey to provide input on how these funds should continue to be allocated.
