WPCNR SCHOOL DAYS. From the New York State Assembly. April 12, 2017 UPDATED April 19, 2017:
The state of New York released its final 2017-18 School Aid totals per School District Tuesday, and White Plains Public Schools share is going up 1.7% to $24,984,900, its highest aid ever.
Acting Superintendent of Schools told WPCNR the $328,176 increase would not be assigned to any specific expenditure but would be used to supplement funding of any increases in state aid approved specific expenditures.
We’re back! The Daffodils opened up on Monday in White Plains, New York, USA.
Not to be outdone, the Grape Hyacinths smugly followed the Dafs’ debut
Being told “Come on out, the weather is fine,” the rest of the Dafs came on out Tuesday
Which meant it was warm enough to get out the lawn furniture and pour a long tool cool, heady brew
