Southern Cayuga considers buyouts

POPLAR RIDGE - The failing economy is hitting everybody's wallet, and the same cannot be any truer for the Southern Cayuga Central School District.

Facing a scenario for the 2008-09 budget in which district expenses are greater than the amount of revenue coming in, the district and its board of education are considering options to be fiscally responsible with spending to keep taxpayer impact under control.

One idea proposed by district Superintendent Mary Kay Worth is to offer retirement incentives to faculty members.
