Brewster School Budget Results Are In

BREWSTER, NY — Brewster school district residents approved a 2019-20 school budget on Tuesday.

The $101 million proposed budget is a 3.04% spending increase over the current year and it comes with a 4.06% hike in the school tax levy. That is within the state's tax cap for the district so the budget only needed to be approved by a majority vote.
