Earlier decisions paying off for distrct By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com CROWN POINT — Difficult decisions the past few years are expected to pay dividends in the 2012-13 Crown Point Central School budget. “The words to describe our (20)12-

13 budget are hopeful and optimistic; words we have not been able to say in a few years,” Shari Brannock, school superintendent, said. Preliminary budget figures call for a 1 percent increase in spending and a tax increase of less than 2 percent, although Brannock doesn’t want to give specific numbers. “I hesitate to give draft levy and expense totals since we may have changes up or down,” the superintendent said. “Everything is subject

to change in next few weeks as necessary.” The current Crown Point school budget is $6,135,162. The current tax levy is $1,489,000. School officials have been awaiting the adoption of a state budget, which was finalized March 30. The board will adopt the budget either at its April 4 or April 17 meeting. CONTINUED ON PAGE 13
