SCSD Faces Revenue Loss Without Name Change

Student athletes from the Saranac Central School District have long competed as the Chiefs. That may be changing. The Adirondack Daily Enterprise reports, Superintendent Javier Perez said the district could lose approximately $14 million in state aid it’s expecting to receive in the next fiscal year if the Chiefs name isn’t changed. The district’s total proposed budget for 2023-24 is $40.4 million, meaning if the state aid is withheld, the district would lose roughly a third of its projected revenue.
