The proposed budget is balanced using a combination of funding sources, including:
- State aid
- Property tax levy
- Local revenues
- Federal funds
- use of reserves
This chart shows the expected revenues for the 2026–27 budget year. Most of the revenue (96%) comes from state and federal aid, the tax levy, and local sales tax. The tax levy is the money collected from property owners within the school district.
The remaining 4% using reserves and other (debt service) will be restricted to specific budget items, such as workers’ compensation, unemployment costs, and debt service. Using reserves for their intended purposes has helped balance the budget and reduce the impact on taxpayers.
As of mid-April, the state aid amount is estimated and will depend on the final New York State budget once adopted.
