Troy and Lansingburg school districts say they do not expect immediate trouble from a legislative stalemate that delays $1.18 million in state aid. The state plans to send $540 million to schools on Thursday, with Troy due $780,000 and Lansingburg $408,000, though checks tomorrow should proceed unaffected. Lansingburg delays its budget hearing to June 15 due to the impasse, while Troy officials base early budgeting on a likely $100 per pupil increase from $500 to $600 once the budget is enacted.
