2025-2026 Budget
The Board of Education has adopted the 2025-2026 school budget, which includes a tax increase of 3.43%. This budget ensures the continuation of all current programs while also introducing several exciting new initiatives and improvements. With careful planning, the district is committed to enhancing educational opportunities and maintaining high standards for student success. Due to a reduction in debt payments and an increase in PILOTS, the districts tax cap calculation is -5.72%, requiring a super majority vote of 60%+1 yes votes.
