On Tuesday, June 17, Scotia-Glenville Central School District voters approved the district’s proposed $66,513,694 revised budget for the 2025-26 school year by a margin of 1610 to 560. Because the proposed tax levy increase of 3.25% or $1,084,331 is within the district’s tax levy limit (or “tax cap,”) a simple majority (50% +1) was needed to approve the budget. The proposal was approved by 74% of voters.
“I am grateful to each of you who took the time to vote on the revised budget, supporting the second budget that the Board put forth. The community involvement through this year’s budget process, whether through voting, attending meetings, or sharing your thoughts, has been invaluable in shaping the direction of our district,” said Superintendent Susan Swartz. “This revised budget reflects our collective commitment to providing the best possible education for our students while navigating the financial challenges we face. Your support ensures that we can continue to prioritize instructional programs and maintain the quality of services and programs that our children deserve,” she said.
