| January 1 | Edith Lank, longtime area observer of the real estate scene, dies. |
| January 4 | Rochester City School District teachers have a new, 3-year contract providing a 3.8% raise and retention bonuses. Critics feel this is not enough to keep teachers from leaving for suburban districts after gaining experience. The 2021 graduation rate was 71% (the percentage of students in grade 9 who actually graduated), up from 43% in 2013. Buffalo 72%, Syracuse 73%, Yonkers 93%, New York City 78%. Recent reports of RCSD grade inflation concern observers who look for more information than graduation rates. The 2022-23 RCSD budget was $627 million. |
