State Comptroller says Harrisville Central School District is under moderate fiscal stress

Posted

HARRISVILLE — The state Comptroller’s Office rates the Harrisville Central School District as under moderate fiscal stress.

Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli included the district among more than two dozen distressed districts in the state.

“These fiscal stress scores are based on end-of-school-year 2019/2020 results, and thus provide a baseline measurement of school districts’ ability to respond to the financial impact of the ongoing public health crisis. We expect that the fiscal landscape will continue to change in the months (and years) ahead, and we encourage school district officials to closely monitor their financial condition in the current and future budget cycles,” a report from the Comptroller’s Office says.

Harrisville scored a 53.3 stress rating, tied with the Helpstead Union Free School District for the highest scored in the “moderate stress category.”

The Harrisville Central School District straddles the St. Lawrence and Lewis counties border and includes the St. Lawrence County town of Pitcairn.
