ALBANY, N.Y. -- The state has released the specific funding details for all of New York’s school districts.

We’ve known since December that education funding would increase by four percent overall, but now you can see how much more money your school district is receiving.

Also, as part of a last-minute deal with Governor Cuomo, more than $150 million in funding was added back into a general fund instead of being earmarked for competitive grants.

The document - known as a school run - breaks down the amount of state dollars allocated to each district in the budget.

The final number is determined by a handful of factors, including number of students, and regional formulas.

In the Hudson Valley, most districts are seeing an increase.

According to the numbers, without building aid, Newburgh and Poughkeepsie City School Districts are each seeing more than $1.5 million more. Kingston is seeing an increase of just under $1.5 million. Marlboro, New Paltz, and Beacon are all also seeing bumps in aid.
