Rochester City School District Budget Hearing — June 11

The Rochester City Council opens the floor to the public before voting on the Rochester City School District's $1.16 billion budget for 2026-2027. The board passed it 4-3 earlier this month after weeks of debate over a nearly $50 million shortfall — cuts to counselors, food service, and special education support had community advocates showing up in force. Now it's the Council's turn, and yours.

Date: Thursday, June 11, 2026 Time: TBD Location: Rochester City Council Chambers, Rochester NY Cost: Free
