Annual Budget Vote

2025-26 Proposed Budget

The annual budget vote and Board of Education election will be held May 20, 2025. The process for developing a school district budget is taken very seriously. A great deal of time was spent reviewing all expenditures, looking for efficiencies and cost saving measures, assessing student and program needs and determining appropriate staffing. As a result, the Board of Education and the district developed what we believe to be a fiscally sound budget.

Proposed Propositions

The 2025-26 school budget of $108,879,682 was adopted by the Board of Education on April 8, 2025. The budget reflects an increase of 5.4% over last year’s budget and a 3.31% increase in the tax levy, which is below the district’s levy cap of 4.59%. 

A second proposition will appear on the ballot to authorize the purchase of ten (10) electric school buses. The district anticipates receiving New York State Bus Incentive Program funding of $220,500 per bus. The remaining costs and infrastructure will be purchased out of the district’s Capital Reserve for Buses (not to exceed $3,000,000).
