 New York State Comptroller-School Finance Issues
To ensure that school districts are not harmed by the delayed receipt of STAR payments, the State should reimburse school districts for interest losses and borrowing costs; school districts should also be allowed to carry higher fund balances.

 The Newark State School - Newark NY 14513
