<description><![CDATA[ (Jun 5, 2013) Later this month, four North Country school districts will take their revised budgets back to voters in hopes of winning approval for their spending plans.The General Brown Central School District in Dexter, along with Minerva, Newcomb and Tupper Lake all asked voters last month to approve budgets that broke the 2 percent property tax cap.All four failed to win the sixty percent super-majority needed to set the cap aside.  So they&apos;ll be offering new budgets for a second vote on June 18th.Seth McGowan, superintendent of Tupper Lake&apos;s district, says the revised budget comes in well below the property tax cap, but it will also mean a total of seven job cuts.

<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/21015/20121205/canton-potsdam-students-headed-to-protest-in-albany</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Dec 5, 2012) About 1,000 high school students and teachers from around New York are traveling to Albany Wednesday to lobby lawmakers to increase spending on schools.  A busload of 30 students from Canton and Potsdam will be among them.  When leaders in the Canton Central schools worry publicly about losing sports, arts, pre-kindergarten, and other programs because they&apos;re going broke, they&apos;re not alone. A recent survey of New York school superintendents found that a quarter of districts in the North Country think they&apos;ll be insolvent in two years if things don&apos;t change.Chad Raddock is organizing concerned districts under the group Educate New York-Now. He says 15 busloads of students and teachers are on their way to Albany.
