Voters in Western New York are set to weigh in on school budgets for the upcoming academic year, as a series of votes gets underway across the region. The annual budget votes, which typically take place in May, have been delayed this year due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. With many schools facing significant budget challenges, including rising costs for staff, supplies, and facilities, local residents will have the opportunity to decide on proposed tax increases and spending allocations. The votes will provide a crucial test of community support for schools in a region where education funding has long been a contentious issue.
