Meeting opened with light banter among board members and staff; technical check that the livestream was running and the chair previewed the evening. The introductory exchange established the meeting tone and attendance (no formal actions).
At the April 16 work session of the Niagara Falls City School District Board, staff presented a proposed $211,260,990 2024–25 budget that would hold the tax levy flat at $25,828,989, rely on roughly $8 million of reserves and $2 million in attrition savings, and head to a public hearing May 7 and a voter referendum May 19. The board also reviewed four audit findings tied to American Rescue Plan spending and voted to enter an executive session on pending child-victim litigation.
