New budget plan to be presented for Rush-Henrietta revote

Rush-Henrietta Superintendent Barbara Mullen will present a revised budget proposal at a Board of Education meeting on Tuesday night. The initial budget for the 2024-2025 school year failed to pass by just fifteen votes, leading to a revote scheduled for June 18. Mullen explained that the district had three options: adopt a contingency budget with a $4 million spending cut, hold a second vote on the same budget, or propose a revised budget, the latter being her recommendation.

To inform and engage the community, the district is organizing forums, drafting a revised budget newsletter, and addressing frequently asked questions through various media. The Board of Education meeting will be held at 7 p.m. at the Parker Administration Building and will be available to watch online.
