At its Feb. 8 meeting, the Groton Central School District Board of Education reviewed the program portion of the 2021â2021 budget this past Monday, which encompasses 72 percent of the entire budget. This part of the budget includes expenses for the following:
â¢Regular school instruction, teacher in-service, training, special education
â¢Occupational education, library and media centers, computer assisted instruction, pupil attendance
â¢Guidance, health and psychological services, co-curricular and sports, transportation
â¢Related employee benefits
For the teaching-regular school line of the budget â which includes general education teachers, substitute teachers, TST BOCES programs, and supplies and materials â there will be a projected decrease of about $150,000 (from $5,344,704 in 2020â2021 to $5,194,490 in 2021â2022) or 2.8 percent. However, business administrator Cara Stevens said the decrease is more like $310,000 when considering th

The new legislation includes facial recognition technology and will force the Lockport City School District to stop using its controversial AEGIS security system, which was activated in January this year, making Lockport one of the first school districts in the country to start using facial recognition technology.
“Facial recognition surveillance never belonged in the school,” said Jim Shultz, a Lockport parent who helped lead local opposition to the technology. “[This legislation] is an important victory for students not only in Lockport but everywhere in the State of New York.”
Jim Shultz spoke to fellow Lockport parents and community leaders at a town hall meeting hosted by the NYCLU in Lockport on Feb. 25, 2020.
