The development of a school budget is a continuous year-round process between the Board of Education and district administrators. In preparation for the 2025-26 budget, presentations on specific departments/areas will be presented to the Board in the weeks leading up to the presentation of the overall budget for consideration by the Board. To learn more about the 2025-26 Budget Development process, revisit the page throughout the Budget development process and click on each labeled section to expand and view more.

The Annual School Budget Vote will take place on Tuesday, May 20, 2025, from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Voting will be held in the High School Main Gym, which is most easily accessible from our Rt. 101 entrance, which is located at the rear of the Middle School/High School Campus.

Parking To Vote

The best way to access parking and the polling place is to enter from Albany County Route 101, behind the middle and high school campus. There will be signs on Route 9W and Route 101 directing voters to the proper parking area. For safety reasons, no voters will be permitted to drive through the center of the middle and high school campus during drop-off from 7:00-7:45 a.m. and dismissal from 1:45-3:00 p.m. During these times, voters must access the parking lot via Route 101.

If you plan to vote and drop off or pick up your middle or high school student during these times (7:00-7:45 a.m. and 1:45-3:00 p.m.), please use the back campus entrance from Route 101 with your student.
