Voter's Guide: Glen Cove School Budget, Board Election

Glen Cove District residents will vote on the district’s $79 million proposed budget for the 2014-15 school year on Tuesday.

The proposal calls for a 3.41 percent increase in spending over the current year and carries a 1.58 percent percent tax levy increase, which is within the state's tax cap.

School officials say the fiscal plan allows for efficiencies while enhancing opportunities for children within the district’s instructional programs.
