To merge or not to merge: New York State offering increased aid to consolidating school districts

NEW YORK- As of July 2024, school districts in New York State that reorganize—or merge—are eligible for financial assistance of up to 40 percent of the Total Foundation Aid Base under the Reorganization Incentive Operating Aid (RIOA) program. Unfrozen in the 2024-2025 state budget, RIOA is available to reorganized school districts for up to 14 years after merging, on a phase-out basis. New York State encourages consolidation for districts with small student populations as a solution to issues caused by low enrollment. Several districts in the state have already made the decision to merge, and more are considering the possibility.

Girls basketball: Warwick tops Horseheads to reach first state semifinals since 1982

Pennsylvania New York New Jersey Maryland & Virginia could see severe storms in the mix Sunday

The weekend begins with the old back door cold front across Virginia and the onshore flow which is keeping things rather cloudy cool and raw. Unlike the last couple of days where the clouds did burn off for the most part today it will be more of a struggle. Satellite loops show clouds locked in well inland and it is unlikely that we will see these clouds burn off. This means temperatures today will likely stay in the 50s all day with readings closer to 50 near the coast. While the radars are not picking up much, there is spotty drizzle around and that will be the case for most of the day especially near the coast.
