St. Lawrence County school districts will receive a $10.8 million increase in state aid for 2016-17 -- about $3 million more than the governor proposed in January.

Of the total, about $9.58 million of the state aid increase comes in the form of operational aid, while the other $1.27 million is allocated for building improvements. Operational aid can be allocated to maintain programs and pay for services, such as BOCES.

This year, included in the operational aid is a new source of funds called community school aid. This “new aid” accounts for about $1.75 million of the total $10.8 million.

Although initially this funding was thought to be restrictive, it has now been rolled into Foundation aid, which is typically the lion’s share of operational aid. It is also the least restrictive form of state aid.

The budget does eliminate Gap Elimination Adjustment, a move that has been long supported by local school districts, though the savings for many St. Lawrence County School Districts will be modest.
