CORTLAND, N.Y. (WHCU) — The Cortland Enlarged City School District is asking voters to approve a $56.1 million budget. 

Superintendent Bob Edwards says it includes school aid from Albany that’s smaller than usual. 

Edwards adds the district traditionally receives a 3% increase in school aid. Meantime, the superintendent tells WHCU they still have a plan for filling a nearly $1 million gap.

Edwards admits it’s not sustainable for the next budget cycle. Cortland’s school budget vote in May 21.
