OA Reminder: On 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.
To view a digital copy of the newsletter, visit https://5il.co/19iet.
You can find more information about the proposed School Budget on our website: https://www.oacsd.org/page/school-budget-information.
Also on the ballot is the proposed 2022-2024 Capital Project. The project focuses on updating our facilities, expanding student opportunities, and improving our buildings' overall efficiency, health, and safety. The $12.9 million capital project will include music wing renovations at OFA/OAMS, math wing classroom renovations at OFA, continued HVAC upgrades at OFA & the Transportation Facility, Community Pool upgrades, and site work at OFA/OAMS/Transportation Facility, and other building maintenance items.
