What stands out about how Monticello is run
Read from the village’s budget and official records.
Monticello Central School District
Monticello’s K–12 school district, shared with Wurtsboro, Thompson, Forestburgh, Bethel, Mamakating. It’s its own government, with a budget separate from the town’s.
Of the $35,243 per pupil, $23,209 goes to the classroom (teachers, aides, supplies); the rest to buses, buildings, counselors and administration. Building projects and debt payments aren’t in the per-pupil figure.
New York districts overall: 51% local, 41% state, 8% federal.
