CHENANGO COUNTY - New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo announced over the weekend that he would be extending school budget voting deadlines, but some local school districts are unsure of how to proceed due to a lack of communication from the state.

Cuomo’s office released a statement discussing the proposed school budget votes on Sunday, which reports that school budget ballots will be accepted by hand delivery through 5 p.m. on June 9th and received by mail through June 16th by the school district.

Several school districts throughout Chenango County, including Oxford, Norwich, and BOCES, reported having no prior knowledge of the changes.

DCMO BOCES Superintendent Perry Dewey said BOCES won’t be overly impacted by the changed date for school budget votes, with school districts already approving its administrative budget.

“We have no idea what the governor’s going to say until he says it,” said Dewey. “It’s extremely unfortunate that he continues in this light and creates confusion.”
