Riverhead school district transportation workers turned out in force Tuesday night to tell the school board they need a raise because their pay isn't enough to get by on.

The Riverhead Central School District is now expected to receive $76.1 million in state aid for the coming school year, an increase of $19.6 million — or 34.6% — over the current school year and about $8.8 million more than anticipated in the budget the school board adopted last month.

Riverhead Central School District voters will be asked to approve a 1% tax levy increase at the polls next month, to support a $192 million spending plan for the 2023-2024 school year.

The Riverhead school district’s '23-'24 budget proposal includes an increase of more than $4.2 million for general classroom teaching, instruction and support, Assistant Superintendent for Business Rodney Asse said at Tuesday’s school board meeting.

The school board last week had a presentation of the administrations proposals for the general support and debt service aspects of the 2023-2024 budget.
