CHENANGO COUNTY — In May, voters approved school budgets across Chenango County for 2024 to 2025 academic year.

As the current year comes to a close and a new one approaches, data illustrates how much districts spent per student and per graduating student for the recently finished 2023 to 2024 school year.

The data represents the full amount of the 2023 to 2024 school budgets divided by the total number enrolled in the district and number of graduating students.

The figures for the 2023 to 2024 academic year, as reported by each school district, paint a stark contrast between large and small districts.
