Summary
At a June 25 special meeting the Northampton School Committee voted to approve the fiscal year 2026 school budget totaling $48,839,176 — the vote is contingent on the city council action and the budget taking effect July 1, 2025.
The Northampton School Committee on June 25 voted to approve the fiscal year 2026 school budget totaling $48,839,176, a motion the committee framed as approval of the budget submitted May 16 and amended June 18 and contingent on that budget taking effect on July 1, 2025.
The vote was called by Chair Mila Sherrer, who said the committee could act “according to the charter” after the council failed to act within the statutory window and that the committee’s vote must be clear that it is on the May 16 submission as amended June 18. The approved total combines the school committee’s preliminary budget of $44,011,006.95 and an “other funding” column of $4,827,004.81 shown in the packet, producing the $48,839,176 figure the committee approved.
