Board approves 2025–26 tax warrant totaling $128.3 million
Summary
The Chappaqua Central School District board voted Aug. 7 to approve the tax warrant for the 2025–26 school year, directing the towns to issue tax bills and begin collection; the warrant specifies $124,550,099 for school district purposes and $3,708,998 for the Chappaqua library.
The Chappaqua Central School District Board of Education on Aug. 7 approved the district’s tax warrant for the 2025–26 school year, a necessary step that authorizes the towns to issue tax bills and begin collection for the district.
The motion approved by the board set the tax levy and warrant amounts at $124,550,099 for school district purposes and $3,708,998 for the Chappaqua library. Once the warrant is signed, the towns start their tax collection processes and remit funds to the district over the course of the year, the board was told.
The vote followed the superintendent and business staff presentation that confirmed the tax collection instructions to the towns of Mount Pleasant and New Castle and reviewed the timing and flow of funds to the district. The business official reported the town tax rates will reflect modest changes discussed during budget season: an estimated 1.93% increase in the New Castle tax rate and a 1.33% increase in the Mount Pleasant tax rate, figures provided as context for the board’s action.
The motion to approve the warrant passed on a voice vote recorded as all in favor.
Less critical details: the superintendent and business staff also highlighted continued construction and capital work across the district, which the tax collections support; the board said the warrant signing allows the towns to proceed with billing and tax‑collection schedules.
