Assemblyman John McDonald addressed the Lansingburgh Central School District Board on the New York State Executive Budget, telling members "Lansingburgh is off to a good start with an increase of over $3 million in foundation aid." He said the district may also see an increase in universal prekindergarten funding but that the amount was not yet known, and reminded the Board of an April 1 budget deadline for state actions that could affect local planning.

The Board heard the overview as context for district budgeting decisions and planning meetings ahead of the March 23 budget decision deadline.
