NEWFIELD, N.Y. (WHCU) — The Newfield Central School District was placed last year on the state comptroller’s list of districts in fiscal distress. 

Superintendent Eric Hartz says they’re continuing to work hard on reversing that trend. 

Although Newfield remains on the comptroller’s list, they’re no longer second to last. Hartz adds they’ll keep things steady. 

Newfield’s school budget for the 2023 to 2024 academic year goes up for a vote May 16.
