With school districts across the region set to vote on their budgets and their school board slates tomorrow, newspapers are offering a lot of information about the candidates, the spending plans, and the issues faced by these schools.<\/p>\n
I take a beating whenever I point this out, but this is one of the things that newspapers do really well, offering bread-and-butter district-by-district information that few other news organizations (including NCPR) can provide.<\/p>\n
The Plattsburgh Press-Republican has information about school districts in their chunk of the North Country on their Education page<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Glens Falls Post Star has a special section<\/a>, including candidate profiles and a very cool budget-tracking map.<\/p>\n Nathan Brown at the Adirondack Daily Enterprise looks at the Lake Placid election<\/a> and Chris Knight looks at whether budget hearings held by school boards really mean anything<\/a>.<\/p>\n
