Board reviews $107.3 million proposed budget for 2025–26; health insurance and bus electrification noted
Summary
District business staff presented a $107,327,289 proposed budget for 2025–26, a 3.73% increase over the current year. The presentation highlighted enrollment projections, benefit cost growth, a plan to work with NYSERDA on electric buses, and one‑time athletics costs tied to new turf.
Byram Hills staff presented the administration’s proposed $107,327,289 budget for the 2025–26 school year at the Board of Education meeting on March 4, a $3.8 million (3.73 percent) increase from the 2024–25 budget of $103,464,726.
The presentation, given by Kelly (staff member, budget presenter), laid out the district’s budget‑development calendar and key drivers: enrollment projections, rising benefit costs, transportation purchases and capital projects. "When you see a budget‑to‑budget increase of 3.73, that does not correlate with an increase in taxes of 3.73," Kelly said, adding the district would present revenue, levy and tax‑rate details at a later hearing.
