With the 2026-2027 budget season upon us, we want to provide opportunities for the entire school community to stay informed, not only about the school budget, but also about the significant change in our district’s tax base as the Stagecoach Pipeline & Storage Company LLC (formerly CNYOG) Payment In Lieu Of Taxes (PILOT) agreement has expired.
As information about the budget is reported and shared across various platforms, we encourage the school community to review information shared directly by the school district and reach out with any questions. You will receive several direct mailings, including the Budget Newsletter, over the next few weeks.
Residents will notice a unique figure on this year’s Property Tax Report Card: an apparent 17.10% increase in the district’s tax levy. It is important to note that this is strictly an accounting change, not a tax increase.
The Change: By law, Stagecoach Pipeline has moved from "Miscellaneous Revenue" to the regular property tax rolls, just like any local homeowner.
The Impact: The $3,183,700 payment is now categorized under the "Tax Levy."
The Reality: Because this $3.18 million increase in the levy is fully offset by Stagecoach now paying regular property taxes, there is no new tax burden on the community. Review the following information from Tioga County Real Property Tax Services:

Budget At A Glance:
Proposed 2026-2027 annual budget: $63,567,555.
Bus Bond Proposition for 5 new diesel school buses.
Board of Education Election for 3 open seats.

🚌 Big Thanks to Our OA Drivers!
Today is School Bus Driver Appreciation Day, and we want to give a massive shout-out to the dedicated team at OACSD!
Rain, shine, or snow, our drivers are the first friendly faces our students see in the morning and the ones who ensure they get home safely every afternoon.

Owego Apalachin Central School District has been honored with the Best Communities for Music Education (BCME) Award from The NAMM Foundation for its outstanding support and commitment to music education. This is the 8th year that OACSD has been recognized. Now in its 27th year, the program continues to spotlight and celebrate school districts and individual schools across the United States for their exemplary dedication to music education and their ongoing efforts to ensure equitable access to music learning as part of a well-rounded education.
The award reaches K-12 communities nationwide, offering both recognition and momentum to strengthen and expand music education programs. In 2026, more than 1,000 school districts and schools—including public, private, charter, and parochial institutions—have been recognized for outstanding achievement in providing access to high-quality music education.
"Securing the Best Communities for Music Education designation for the eighth time is a profound testament to our district," said Superintendent Dr. Corey Green. "This national recognition from The NAMM Foundation is a tribute to our exceptional educators who lead with passion, our talented students who pour their hearts into every note, and a supportive community that continues to champion the arts as a priority. This milestone doesn't just celebrate our past success; it reinforces our commitment to ensuring that high-quality music education remains a vital, vibrant, and accessible part of every child’s journey here at OA."
Recipients of the 2026 BCME Awards were selected through a comprehensive application and review process that evaluates key indicators, including funding, instructional time, participation rates, facilities, and community support. To uphold the program’s rigor and credibility, all applications were independently reviewed and verified by WolfBrown, a leading research and evaluation firm specializing in education and the arts.
About The NAMM Foundation
The NAMM Foundation is the charitable arm of the National Association of Music Merchants, the global trade association for the music products industry. The foundation works to remove systemic barriers that limit access to music-making and career pathways in the music industry. By investing in bold ideas and innovative solutions, we strive to build inclusive and thriving musical communities.

🇺🇸 Honoring Our Heroes & Empowering Our Students 🇺🇸
It’s a proud day in Owego as the Hometown Hero banners begin to line our streets!
This isn't just a tribute; it’s a powerful community collaboration. Under the leadership of OFA Technology Teacher Sean Carney, students at HAWKEYE Graphics have been working tirelessly to design and produce these beautiful banners.
Through a fantastic partnership with Tioga United Way, our students are gaining invaluable, real-world job experience. From design to finished product, they are learning what it takes to deliver professional quality for a meaningful cause.
To the men and women featured on these banners, and to all who have served, we owe you a debt of gratitude. Thank you for your service and your sacrifice.
Next time you’re driving through town, take a moment to look up and appreciate the faces of our heroes and the hard work of our talented students!
