Carthage school district unexpectedly gets nearly $5M: https://www.wwnytv.com/2024/01/08/ca...ets-nearly-5m/

From the article: "An unexpected payment comes in for the Carthage Central School District - close to $5 million in additional revenue.

It’s Federal Impact Aid, a pot of money that’s unpredictable for school districts with a large number of students from military families."

As mentioned in other threads, about a third of Fort Drum, particularly the older portion of the Army base, is in the Carthage SD(the other 2/3rds is in the Indian River SD). There is also some off post housing within the district as well.
