Residents in Penfield will hit the polls Tuesday to vote on the proposed 2013-14 school budget.

The adopted $87 million budget increases spending by 2.4 percent and has an estimated tax rate increase of 4.4 percent.

There are three candidates running for three open seats on the Penfield Board of Education.

Two propositions will also be on the ballot: To purchase six 66-passenger buses and to fund $1.9 million in capital projects at Scribner Road Elementary and Bay Trail Middle School.

Both propositions will be funded through reserves and fund balance and will not impact taxes.

Voting runs from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. in the Penfield High School gym.

We know there are two things that you are most concerned about.

Your money and your schools.

That's why -- on the eve of the school budget votes -- I-Team 10 spent weeks looking into those two things. Specifically -- we wanted to know how much money from the state lottery goes to your child's schools and if it was more, would it reduce your school taxes?

The Numbers

In terms of lottery money to schools -- the answer is a lot. Millions of dollars per district. And with one exception -- every year for the past 10 years the totals have gone up for every district in Monroe county, plus Victor and Canandaigua.
