OA Reminder: Tomorrow, Tuesday, May 17, 2022, Owego Apalachin residents will head to the polls to vote on the Proposed 2022-2023 School Budget, School Bus Purchasing, an upcoming Capital Project, and Board Member Election.
For the second year in a row, the Owego Apalachin Central School District taxpayers will see a 0% increase on the tax levy. Your support of the upcoming school year’s budget will allow the district to keep class sizes small and student to teacher ratios low, expand our student support services, build our STEAM programming and Career & Technical Education (CTE) course offerings and continue to provide a vast selection of fine arts, performing arts, athletics, and other extracurricular activities.
