In 2022, the New York State Legislature agreed to fully fund Foundation Aid for schools. Foundation Aid is discretionary monies (funds that can be used for anything) and the largest single state-aid category for schools. This past May, the district received its final increase making the Owego Apalachin CSD fully funded. New York State has asked districts to solicit input regarding where school communities feel increased funding should be used. Please review the areas we have invested in and select those you agree with. There is space to add new ideas too. Thank you for your time and input.

For Owego Free Academy Studio Art's final project, Masterpiece of Cake, students choose 1 or 2 famous artworks and then design and build a cake inspired by the artwork using cardboard and mixed media. At the end of the project, each class votes on their favorite cake. C & M Sweets in Owego made edible replicas of the 2 winning cakes.
In the photos, the cakes on the left side of each picture were made by C&M Sweets, and the ones on the right side were made by students. Stella Palladino made the 3-tier cake with the lantern, fabric, and flowers, and Elliott Cosme made the 2-tier cake.
