FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
On Tuesday, Middleburgh Central School District voters approved the district’s proposed $23,811,377 budget for the 2022-23 school year by a margin of 233-120; and elected Vicki Hoerz (244 votes) and Debra Bechtold (228 votes) to serve three year terms on the Board of Education. 71% of voters also approved a proposition to purchase three school buses.
Because the proposed tax levy increase of 0.5% or $50,270 is well below the district’s 2.31% tax levy increase allowed under the state’s property tax cap law, the district needed a simple majority vote (50% plus one vote) for budget approval. The budget proposal was approved by 66% of voters.
“Thanks to all who took the time to vote in today’s election. We believe our budget continues to support our students while being especially mindful of our taxpayers,” said Superintendent Brian Dunn.
