School board adopts $39.9M budget | The Daily Gazette
SECTIONS
JOHNSTOWN Thanks to a $776,948 increase in state and federal aid, the Greater Johnstown School District school board Thursday night adopted its first budget in four years that doesn’t seek to break the New York state tax cap.
All school board members in attendance Thursday night voted to adopt the proposed $39.96 million 2021-22 budget. The budget includes a 2.5% year-over-year spending increase of $992,700 and a 3.8% property tax levy increase of $393,247. The budget spends $2.5 million of the school district’s roughly $13.2 million in fund balance reserves, $519,767 less than the reserve spending for the 2020-21 school budget.

JOHNSTOWN The Common Council took action Monday night to free up the vehicular area around the Knox Building, which is again housing city students.
The building used to be known as Knox Junior High School, but was simply turned into a largely administrative building at the start of this school year. But during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Greater Johnstown School District has now shifted fifth and sixth grade students from Warren Street Elementary School to the building and there is a worry about parking and public vehicular traffic access to the South Perry Street building.
Following a public hearing, the council Monday night at City Hall adopted an ordinance/local law to amend the city Code of Ordinances. Effective immediately, there is “No Parking Any Time” on the east side of South Perry Street – from the intersection of First Avenue to the intersection of Fourth Avenue.
