JOHNSTOWN The Greater Johnstown School District Board of Education Thursday night reviewed some preliminary 2021-22 district budget figures, including capital and administrative expenditures expected to increase by 2-4 percent.
Superintendent William Crankshaw and Assistant Superintendent Ruthie Cook took the board through some proposed figures.
“We’re not looking for any fancy increases,” Crankshaw told the board.
He said administrative costs for the 2021-22 school year would be $3,219,045 up by about 4.4 percent from the current school year. He said capital expenditures would stand at $8,342,601 for a 1.6 percent hike.
“This is generally 20 percent of the budget,” he said of capital, which includes operation of buildings and maintenance.
